Thanks, I'm pleased with how they look in the photos.
They are a charcoal grey/black colour.
A managed to find a chap in Bridgend that has made them. I know it's a long way from Bolton but I'm having them delivered by courier at a reasonable price.

If anyone wants to know his details I can Pm them to you.

It was £305.00, which includes the foam, boards and upholstery.
Other places were quoting silly money for items that looked nowhere as good.
They should arrive tomorrow and I'll post pIctures of how they look in the van.
