Hi guys

i have me mk2 coupe and i have got some mk3 door cards, expect that im hvaing problems, getting them into, me mk2 coupe as they dont quite all line up rite

Has any of u got any ideas on how to do it maybe?

hacksaw blade and luck me thinks
the mk3 door cards are slightly different to the mk2 in shape and size

well i can tell ya now that im gonna get a hacksaw to me mk2 soon, as i cant seem to fit anyfink good to it at the moment,

so unless anyone wants to see me kill me mk2 then i need some help

I've been taking a hacksaw to my mk2 this afternoon. Very satisfying indeed. Productive too, my wheels actually fit now..

I seem to remember that the thing with mk3 cards is that they're too wide at the dashboard end so the door doesn't close properly, so they have to be squashed / skimmed at that end to fit them. Is that the problem you were having, or is it somewhere else?
Another thing, you'll need the mk3 door handles, the mk2 ones are a different size.

well its that they dont fit, and hang right and all, and then they look a bit werid kinda.


and i need to get them to fit rite, as they nout lines, up i have the new doo handles, i was good u see and remembered that


and aslo the bk ones aswel have a little gap on the bk ones, aswel i need to know what to put in them and all

Do yourself a favour and put a set of MK2 Cards on it... Maybe have your old ones properly retrimmed... There's plenty of retrimmers out there.

cant even get the mk3 ones to fit properly IN a mk3 anyway

nah i have thought about it and all, but im gonna make me mk3 dootr cards and make them fit as i dont like me mk2 door cards, to ugly looking!

Personally I agree with you, I think the mk3 cards are far better looking.. and they will fit with a bit of persuasion, plenty of people have done it. What's stopping them fitting right? Some kind of obstruction? Do they just not screw down at all, or are they just wonky when they do fit?
