any help with colours.

and also do i have to drill the hole on the end of the door. where the wires and grommet go from the door to inside the car? is that what your on about brainsnova?

[brainsnova]

yes you have to drill holes if there is none down the side of the door where the hinges are.

Yes I drilled a whole (albeit a small one, which I now need to make bigger ) . Drilling through the door was fairly easy but the other side was a lot harder metal was quite thick there.

thanks dude, not sure if im gonna do it yet, will see if the nova sells as a whole on ebay. and if not ill remove it and get the central locking working first then stick it all in mine :>

If you stick your head into the footwell on either side of the car you'll see that there's a circle of single skinned metal were you have to drill the holes in the bottom of the a pillar,fairly easy there and I think that's the factory position!

Iirc the hole in the a pillar is an inch lower or higher than the hole in the door!

Hopefully I drilled through that single skin otherwise ooops

was mine the deluxe version with the centre punched holes that drilled a treat in a matter of seconds.

Centre punched... rings a bell mate. Mine may have actually been like that too and I think thats where I drilled although not 100% sure
