MR2 Custom luggage bags

Howdy!

New here, live in Germany and drive a '01 W3 in YELLOW!

I bought a used set of bags on eBay, now how do I clean them? Has anyone tried tossing them in the washing machine?

yes tossed mine in the washing machine but make sure you take out the cardboard bit at the bottom. Mine came out with no damage at all s:)

anyone got any pics of what we are missing out on - are these bags waterproof and suitable to be strapped to my rea luggage rack?

No, they fit in the cubbies....

Only available in Germany, and looks like that source has dried up as well

I'll post some more pictures when they come out of the washing machine!

Isn't Mutley gonna email Carsten about the GB? Or is there a change of plan?

The current MrT MR2 Roadster Accessories leaflet advertises a leather holdall. S'man.

I've got that, and it's just a normal leather holdall with a little MR2 Roadster tag that costs £70. 'Tis nice, but I wouldn't pay for it.

Not that I actually paid for mine, of course. s;)

I have a pair of the leather holdalls (and I paid for 'em. Doh! s:roll: :roll: s:roll: ).

They are expensive, yes, but after 5 1/2 years of pretty much weekly use as I am away working most of the time, I have only a slight tear in the zip stitching on one bag. I could probably get it fixed at the local cobblers for less than a fiver, and get at least another five years out of them. On that basis, I have to say that they were good value for the price paid.

One of my metal zip-end things has broken on mine. s:(

Anyone interested in custom leather luggage bags? Chip it and I'll enquire!

Hi Everyone,

The April 2003 Toyota MR2 Roadster Accessories leaflet offers a leather holdall 'designed to fit perfectly into the MR2's storage space....'
I would think it's still available. S'man.

i bought mine last year. they have not been out of the packaging yet.

never got round to using them, and with baby coming i dont think i will either.

someone make me a generous offer and i will consider it. (money made will be split between baby fund and a donation to club funds)
