Exactly.

That's the one TB suggested that he required, hence being confused by the need to modify one  ???

Of course, had he said what it was for when he first asked about bending it, then this would be a moot point.

Its a library picture.  That PN is only for NS.

IME with JLR side cargo nets, they are normally sold as a matching pair. I guess due to how the boot trim goes, due to a bundle of electrics behind it, they deem it not worthwhile?  The NS one on EPC specifically says for cars without amps, probably for same reason.


I wouldn't be without them, perfect for little trinkets we all carry.

I think Mrs TB is a very lucky woman!  :y

Afterall, duct taping an old cornflake box to the o/s of the boot would have done the same job.  ;D

Using some stick-on velcro to attach a box to the boot carpet would actually work.

The amp (Meridian system) sits below the floor in the left side in the recess where the tail lights etc are, so the floor sits a bit higher in that area  :y

Damn right, its a hoot in the twisties, even in her under powered version.  Still, a mere 163bhp means you have to no slow down for the bends  >:D
