I have a set of carbon door cards to fit, but the question is what have other people used to fix them to the doors? I was thinking something along the lines of the small plug things (no idea what they are called) that hold the panel in place on the inside of the tailgate (the one which covers the rear window wiper motor etc) but i'm sure they'd be to small to fit the holes in the doors

Any ideas + pics of how they look fixed would be superb

Cheers

The clips that hold the door cards on from citroen saxo work i think. Think you can get them in black.

Edit: you can get these off ebay and just cut the top off..... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/20-X-OF-CLIPS-DOOR-CARD-NISSAN-MITSUBISHI-ISUZU-TOYOTA_W0QQitemZ130206763863QQihZ003QQcategoryZ104 28QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Cheers i'll have a look into the Citreon one's and the ones on ebay.

Riveting is going to be a pain in the **** if you need to get it back off again

Any other ideas?

Could also attach some captive nuts inside the actual door using liquid metal glue stuff (seriously strong... ask Ade)

Then you're free to use whatever bolts you want.

Just use the normal Vauxhall panel clips like you said, go to a scappy and fill your pockets! Thats all i did :)

Well, you'll need a handle on the inside of the door so that'd hold on the biggest end of it. Just Double sided tape the rest.

Pic of ours, held in place by the small plastic trim plugs that comes with vauxhall panels and the door handle stops the middle vibrating and lets you pull the door shut lol!:thumb:
