Ok, cool I know where we are at then... (I'm guessing it's a 2.3???)

I don't have a door car with the correct fabric trim on the upper part (where your elbow goes) but that insert can be swapped from your old door card onto the new one, very easily (provided that part on yours isn't damaged?)

Everything else (door wiring and glass colour etc.) on the phantom grey door should be exactly the same as your existing

I don't have detailed pictures of the door itself at the moment, but I have a breaking thread for the car, >here<
The passenger door is rusty (you can see that in the pics) but the drivers door isn't AFAIK, otherwise I'd have photographed it (but I will obviously double check before selling!)

and if it is damaged the trim piece that is the fabric is only glued on so swapping it over to a new one is body lemonade easy

Just checked the condition of the fabric piece, which has the mirror control button on it, it has been pushed out at the top end from the door card but I think its useable I will get the repair guys to change it over

Drivers door repair update, I've just taken the old girl to the bodyshop and after a long talk about the pro's and cons of re spraying this panel and that panel, we decided to have the whole car re sprayed

Can't wait to see how she looks only downer is the window control unit has been cracked so I will be looking for another after all

, can anyone help with locating one please?

Good to hear you're getting things sorted with the bodyshop.

What do you mean by window control unit?

The piece that you took out from the door that you sold me

sods law....
but to be fair that is normally a part you just swap over from the old door

Ah, right, the switch panel...
Yep, sorry, did say that was the bit I needed to keep

There is a bit of a knack to removing them without breaking (and some luck).

Can you post a close up pic of the one you have? There are 2 different textures to the plastic and it seems to be a bit random which pattern is fitted to which car... If it's different to the one I removed, I might have a suitable spare.

No worries about you keeping the switch panel,I will post a picture when the car come back home all shiney and new
