I fitted the La Salles side panels to mine a few years ago. They have been great, very tough. They have had a lots of stick as it is my work vehicle and no cracks. They only thing I would say is they were a bit of a pain to fit. You need to cut the panels a bit to get them to fit right and taking out the panels supports in the middle of the panels was not fun on a brand new truck. I also put rock wool behind them which has cut down on noise. I can put some pictures if someone can tell me how to do it. As all my pic's seem to be to big!

I think Mud Stuff are planning a liner for hard top sides - I think they'll have tie down points / pockets / straps for holding stuff in place. My blog - www.anacreinhampshire.blogspot.co.uk

They fit behind the trim at the back and the seat belt holds them in...I also put foam behind them

I made my own from 9mm external ply, covered in vinyl from Dunelm Mills and insulated with roof insulation (Rock Wool). I fixed them by fitting M5 Rivnuts into the gutter, the vertical rib in the centre of the hard top and using self tappers into two of the three existing holes on the door edge, all prettied up with chrome screw cups.
Makes it a heck of a lot quieter and all the details can be viewed HERE MAD COW 2007 90 Hard Top - 2009 BMW F800GS - 2002 CCM 604E Dual Sport Project90 |

Just had a look at your site - very good. Great to see the evolution of the vehicle. One that started out as a 2.4 TDCi 110 XS
