They are home made. I'm quite happy with how they turned out.

When you say home made do you mean the door cars or the fabric?
If you bought the fabric pre quilted do you mind if I ask how much and where from? Im looking for some.

Both! we purchased the vinyl and then got it stitched up with a huge help from Fooesboy's Wife.
We made a template of the doorcards and then created copies of them for our cars so we essentially used brand new cards.


when i can post pictures i can show you guys mine!

installing the GV lip will take all of 20 minutes and look totally badass 8)

you have some nice bits, but as a mk1 owner I was not aware of the "eyelids" and initially thought.....

dear god no, sure he doesn't mean these?

I am glad that I was very mistaken :wink: :oops:

-=edit=- but maybe they could be a nice addition to chris's roadster?

Jesus postage is a nightmare with the lip, I'll make sure to only order small packages or arrange group buys from now on. :shock:
