whats the best door pins to get as replacments. i've heard of people using corsa 1's etc.

also when changing over doors what do you do with the bracket.

the 1 that stops the door swinging right out. how do you remove this?

cheers

I trimmed my door pins down so that when the car is locked the door pins sink flush to the top of the door inside. I did this because my car was broken into by some scallys. They smashed the quater window and leant in and pulled up the pin. It's not going to stop them getting into my car, but it's one less way for them to get in.

The middle bracket is to stop the door opening too far.

"check strap" and its also to stop the door closing in on you when its opened fully
