You must have a crystal ball... I had a call out of the blue, following up and enquiry I made, offering me something LE and green. Currently resisting the urge for all the reasons that have been well documented on here by others but I did find myself sliding toward justification for a moment!

Time for you to buy a lottery ticket... you may just be the next Mystic Meg Mr. Green

Actually, despite what Pete suggests, it is SWMBO that does the cooking and she uses something similar on her rolling pin... Whistle

It doesn't hurt so much when she cracks me over the head... Rolling with laughter

And didn't see a single other Landy, even in Marshalls... Rolling Eyes

Ended up at Marshalls in Peterborough on the pretext of checking First Service costs and making do with a photo opportunity, although I'm Censored if the bloody wind would change to the right direction for my latest mod... Mr. Green

You got it in one, almost mate... Rolling with laughter

Long story short, said to SWMBO, have you got any black ribbon my dear... Question

Nope, came the reply, you could always go and buy some, she said... Shocked

Okay, says me, if you don't happen to have any, I will be hanging one of your brassieres from my aerial when we go out to lunch... Laughing

Minutes few later and a nice length of tidy black ribbon appeared on my desk... Mr. Green  Rog... Mr. Green

Nice little mod... :)
I do have other, bigger, longer taking stuff still to do, but it is still cold, wet and very windy and my beloved Landy sits on the drive 24/7... Big Cry

So, after the bi-weekly wash 'n brush up had KesSpec looking sick 'n span again... Rolling Eyes

Nipped out and fitted a very simple but effective little mod courtesy of Russell aka @Japseroony thank you for great service ... Thumbs Up

Really pleased with the functionality and looks and to the naysayers, please, no snide comments about sources and costs, I am very happy with the service and product Russell provided, end of... Mr. Green  Rog... Mr. Green

Hi roger I bought 2 of those of Russell as you say great service and they are good quality. One question though have you thought about how to remove it if needed as the clips look stiff and would be a pain to get once fitted?

Hey Andy, I sort of thought about it as I clipped it in and then didn't, if you know what I mean... Whistle

To be honest, I do not see an immediate need to removing the cover in the foreseeable... Wink

I would imagine, if needs be, a thin blade inserted behind should make a decent enough lever, with due care for the cross member being taken of course... Mr. Green  Rog... Mr. Green
