UK accessories for RHD Model 3 [megathread]

We have a boot liner in our Passat estate. it has occasional storage beneath the floor, which can be awkward accessing with the boot liner needing to be lifted - ok if boot is empty. So we will probably wait to see how ergonomics work out with Model 3 before we decide whether to get a liner for it - space beneath the floor probably more useful than Passat so may be used more.

For anyone wanting to buy from abroad (such as Taptes which seems to be a popular source), VAT and possibly duty may be payable on the import. It seems to be a bit of a lottery, but if picked on, the handling charge the postal/courier service can sometimes be significantly more than the amount to be paid.

VAT payable on goods over £15.00
Customs Duty payable on goods over £135

these assume that you are not importing alcoholic or fragranced accessories!

Amount goods cost includes p&p and for VAT, includes any duty payable.

Tax and customs for goods sent from abroad
 
If Taptes have got any sense they'll ship to warehouses in the EFTA (with free trade agreement with HK) then from there to EU countries. They do seem to do something like that as they state no customs or VAT on smaller items.

Customs problems mostly arise dealing with the US.
 
So in relation to RHD mats, I found these guys....

Diamond Car Mats Black and Black Stitching Luxury Car Mats Set - Premium Car Floor Mats

I got a centre console rap kit and also the door handle wraps.... (Im not a fan of chrome... whole car will be getting de-chromed!) from TeslaBros in the US. Just be aware that you get hit with Customs duty and Royal Mail charge an £8 handling fee which ironically was more than the customs duty!!!
Are RHD front mats identical to LHD? Can't you just swap them left to right?
