    I am wanting to do this too… however the front gutter covers are not available at the moment.

    It is possible to cut the existing ones… which I’m fine with, but would be keen to know if the standard covers are in stock to have another crack at it if I mess up!

    I think some people have successfully modded the existing ditch finishers.

    When I did my rails, I wasn’t able to get the old one out without breaking every single fixing tab no matter what I tried…! Maybe I am just ham fisted but the clips seem to be designed as one way only….

    What I can say is that my old Ditch finishers had the holes marked out quite clearly on the bottom and would be a relatively easy job to cut out.

    I have got the same issue… Ducksworth are saying that they are getting stock on Wednesday next week.

    I have ordered the rears and am going to line up the rails, mark the front finishers and cut the wholes in my own trim.

    How much are Duckworth charging for the rails and finishers? I've called them a few times, but either can't get through or, when I do, their systems are down.

    Full kit is circa £485 with forum discount i think.

    FYI they are back in stock now. Dog

    This was a great guide - thank you.

    By far and above the longest job was cleaning up after the old glue/gunk!

    Only issue I had was I wasn’t expecting the creak (plastic trim settling) when tightening up the bolts. Used a torque wrench but still almost s*** myself thinking I’d stripped the thread!

    Only other thing that almost caught me out was the front and rear blanking plates are different.. that would have been a pain trying to remove one!

    Thanks again!

    Crap timing Russ. I only binned the ones I had from fitting my rails about 3 or 4 weeks ago. I had hung onto them all the while I had the D5.

    Sorry
    Al

    Now gone - D5 HSE 2Ltr in Corris with black roof, black & dynamic packs & 22" black alloys, a bit of a change after 2 D3's and 2 D4's Smile

    I think I still have the ones I took off mine. Away at the moment so will have to check when I get back later in the week. Might be a few broken clips though…

    Found them. They aren’t perfect as I suspected.

    The larger pieces have both big clips broken and one is actually missing. They all need a clean and a polish as they have been on a shelf for 4 years but you are welcome to them.
