Shall we bust the camera out and make a Classic fitting guide when we do yours?
Hopefully not long until the tin opener comes out.

Hope you guys remembered to check with your insurance companys before cutting, you will be surprised what the small print says, all looking good though...

We got interior clips from the dealer but they are not cheap.... I think the later classics are the darker shade grey but I can't remember for sure, if it is marked badly you could always get it painted.

You need to compare yours against a pre facelift model that will confirm it

The clips that I ordered appear to be for a late classic, we were lucky with that one.
As yours is a late car Phil I'd say you would be ok but I suppose until you have them in your hand you will not know for sure.
Its not as if they are pence either otherwise you could a set of both.
