Everything that doesn't belong in the previous categories probably belongs here. Interiour (how are the seats mounted? how to remove the CEM?) and exteriour (how to replace the popup-lights shock absorbers or a door) are discussed here!

Hi there,
Does anyone know the best way to source a front right wing and a front right door? Or does anyone have any idea of price?
The car has had a really dodgy repair in its time and the driver's door rubs the wing when opened, and the paint job on the driver's door is like nothing I've ever seen! It has a very rough and bubbly texture to it! It appears to be going rusty in the bottom corner on the inside, and it is fairly bubbled on the outside underneath the window trim
Also my rear right hand wing is very badly rotted. Is the best way to replace it a 440/460
front wing?
Some pictures of the rear wing
Many thanks

Looks like the door has been resprayed, but not laquered and flatted back, i.e only has base coat.
Looks like you need a new cill, or at least the end, Skandix are selling repair panels again.

Hammers can't fix a 480!!!

Sorry for the late reply, I've been buried under work recently - I didn't realise it had been this long though!
Many thanks for the link, I will investigate and hopefully get the right panel!
Do you know where I could possibly source a driver's door?
Many thanks!
