Door Cards NEW QUESTION (DOOR HANDLES)

[Gary406]

been quoted £20 for each door card to be re-trimmed with black cloth upholster

is it worth throwing £80 at the doorcards

the guy said they will look a lot better and you wont tell they have been done

what do you think ?

[Gary406]

cant get new ones as my car was a basic D8 LX with stadard wind rear windows and just the 2 switches on the front drivers side card

all other good doorcards seem to have electric mirror controls and rear window switches on them which wont look right in my car

so im thinking f**k it and get it done after i have talked the mrs' round

[lozz]

Id pass on them mate,

£80 for a re-trim using cloth

is there none around in the Yards that Have Black door cards?
if you got a set from a Yard you couid Even sell your on Afterwards and Re-coup some of the cash youve spend on the Replacements,

ye its a nice black cloth trim , just like whats on now

i have been looking for sum now for about a year,

they all seem grey for D8s , and as stated the exec ones have leccy windows int back and mine doesnt,

£20 a door isnt bad i thought

[Gary406]

plus i do plan on keeping the car after spending £270 + £150 aprox 3 month ago on engine

so might as well get rid of all the shity grey trim

They didn't even do the Exec ones in black anyway - all the D8 Execs I've seen with black leather still had grey dash & door cards.

[Gary406]

didnt think they did, so think i will get mine done next wik.

[Gary406]

does any1 know if the handles can be removed from the card ??

[FarmerPug]

they are held in with plastic blobs, i think done with a plastic welder, i want to take my rear grab handles out to spray with plastigrip to give it its original rubbery feel again.
But even the cheap crap ones are deer:

£50 and i thought about it, a soldering iron can probably do the same thing.

You'll just have to buy a newer car to go with it now!

[FarmerPug]

get a number plate which contains the number 135, 143, or 144 and you could ask well into the 4 figures for it.

[Gary406]
