View Full Version : new doors or new skins?
Turns out my other half isnt utterly usless with cars... lol :roll:
he has managed to source through audi brand spanking new doors, or skins for the nova....and any other part for the body work may i add! :thumb: :d
the Brand spanking doors are around £130ea i will have to ask about this as he must have told me that over the phone lol!
How ever the frame of the door is fine and a skin would resolve my problem (£33.50 plus vat)...how ever there is a tad of rust on the bottom..do i
a) door skins and just treat the bits of rust that is there...
b) fork out and just get new doors, and have no rust to care about lol
That seems cheap for a new door, I would pay the extra and have piece of mind, I was after doors and was looking at 70 just for second hand ones that where rusty
New doors sounds better, less effort to fit for starters
well ill find out the actual price, unless it is writen down i tend to forget! its around £130-£160 But obviously will have vat added. I am seriously considering the more expensive solution but will put back the rebuild a month perhaps? not sure i have a limit of £400/£500 to throw at the car each month! but this is to include for the respray. So hence why it will put me back a bit (and im sick of riding a push bike o_0) lol
Suppose you could remove your current skin and assess the condition of what's left? If its solid then skins for cheapness.
Buy the doors and sell them on, people will pay more than that for brand new doors!
lmao jack the money maker! lol i get them at trade price lol! as other half works for audi at the body shop they are all chomping at the bit to get the nova in for its respray so there all on it lol! no idea why but they are desperate to play with a nova! lmao!
Because the panel gaps will be the biggest laugh they've ever had in a body shop.
Buy the doors. I'm 100% you'd get the skin off and the rest of the frame will have rust on it, so wont be worth a carrot.
had a word with him, and going to go for new doors. saves less prep time trying to get it ready for respray!
new doors are £138.00 plus vat... ads up to like 390 odd quid...for now i think im going to go with skins, and get the new doors when i have a littl emore money and dont have to have my horses nuts cut of next month lmao!

You wouldnt happen to know your bodyshops supplier for the door skins? im close to pulling my hair out trying to find any, everywhere lists them but no one seems to stock them.

£138 + vat for the 2 doors is just over £330
a new supplier of nova panels sounds to good to be true, we need more details
