Been off work on ACC :x so decided to make some new panels for the boot area on my wagon as it never came with any panels and looked like sh*t

I am going to get them covered in vinyl on wednesday when it arrives which is as close to the same colour as the seats and thedoors cards as i could match. Should come up okay and be something a little different as these are usually just black wooden panels.

I went to Basis and they quoted me $80 a door for 2m of bailey channel, so 8M of bailey channel = $320 this just doesn't sound right to me?

I paid $92 Australian for all 4 doors worth of Bailey channel.
The price they are quoting sounds ridiculous.

All I can suggest is that you give Datsport a call and see what they can do for you. Measure up how much you need for each door then call em.
