As I have the imagination of a dead monkey.

Anyone got any pics of a red nova, with the door handles, and the locks removed?

I have 2 pairs of normal doors, and 1 pair with no handles or locks, need to know which to prep for paint.

I'd have the ones with handles painted mate IMO tho

No handles and locks looks a bit 'Barryboys' to me lol

I like it too!

Maybe make 2 sets of perfect doors, and swap them over.

Sounds like a plan, dehandled suits a smooth look coupled with smoothed side reps and fuel filler hole IMO, doesn't look too 'BarryBoys' to me

Get it done Matt but make sure there's a way to get in if the battery goes flat ;)

We all know you don't need keys to enter a nova!

As I proved at the vboa spares day last year!

But the boot has a normal plinth on, so all is well.

Lose the locks by all means, but handles should remain IMO.

the doors that came with my shell were like this, if i hadnt of run out of time i would of changed them, but i just re-engineered the opening system to be practical. Personally if given the choice i wouldnt bother, and yes there are signs pointing to how to open the door on mine, but thats practical for if i had a big off on track and someone on the outside had to open the door in a hurry, not that great on a road car lol
