Polystyrene was from B&Q. 25mm sheeting, in some places double thickness. Glued in with sylkoflex (sp?).

Where abouts are you? . I've got a set of 15" wheel trims you can have if you're still after some. If you're a fair distance from me and you are prepared to pay postage I can get them weighed and let you know how much it would be. By the way the trims are in very good condition.
Some people are like slinkies.... not good for much but bring a smile to your face when you push them downstairs.

Thanks so much for the offer, but I bought some a couple of months ago. I wish I'd known then!

Thanks again; it's offers like that which keep the forum functioning.

Dodge20, I'm going to be putting my steel wheels back on shortly as they're on winter tyres and I will be on the lookout for some trims again.
Bloody things kept getting nicked last year, luckily the girlfriend has moved house now to a nicer area.
If you want rid of them lemme know how much you'd be after mate

Same offer to you. If you'll pay postage I'll have them weighed and let you know how much. If you use PayPal you can pay via that, once I've pm'd you my email address.

Dear All,

Well, here we are a couple of years later and I've been camping all over the UK and most of Europe in my camper. She's been great!

I'm now moving on in life, and am thinking of selling, what do you think she's worth?

Honest informed opinions welcome!
