no need to use pink grip mate, the handle gets bolted to the door anyway when the door card goes back onto door,
2 bolts hold each handle on the metal brackets on the doors :mrgreen:

back to the black trim. i've been thinking of doing the roof.

re-trimming it with the same cloth as i've used for the door cards.

also the parcel shelf.

and trim the a, b, c pillar in faux leather like bigcheif did.

could be a job to do in the warmer months coming up

faux leather or alacanta trimming sounds interesting.
