OK, I know lots of you think boot racks are tacky, but I needed one for an upcoming journey - ever hopeful the sun will shine!!
As the chief monkey took my money, I said I'd soon be wanting a front grille.
As luck would have it, they had orded a CC one in error a few months back - would I like it cheap :?: Cor yeh :!: :D
Brochure fit time for rack = 0 minutes
Brochure fit time for grille = 1 hour

In reality, it took one monkey, the intelligent one, 20 mins for the grille.
IT TOOK 5 monkeys nearly an hour to fit boot rack :shock: :? ;) :rotfl:
Bless em'

Took me about 10 minutes to fit on the second attempt. Went round tightening each bolt/screw a bit at a time and giving the rack a good jiggle.:D
