That is pretty much it Colin, i will get some ply to fit around the bottom of it down to the floor, and make up the quarterlight modules, then glue my faux leather all over it, then spray it up with Ferrari colour matched leather paint.
Havent forgotten about the challenge badges, just every time i go out there i get involved in doing something on the motor and forget!!

Sorry mate, will make the effort this weekend

Cheers

Hi Mickey,

I will post some when I do the drivers door.
Once the window has had the extra curve put on it, I can get away with the upright rail tight into the corner. Had to remove front runner (as per DVD) but also removed a small rubber block at the top that the window was fouling on.
Also angled/cut back the front bottom corner of the perspex, over 3", back by 10mm to stop window fouling on bottom front hinge cover inside the door.
Got to put a touch more curve on the window as it comes away from the car about 3mm still at the top. :(

Cheers Matey
I am off for 8 days from tomorrow so hopefully get them done in that time  :o
Mick

My new stradale wing mirrors bases, are smaller than required, so, as per markings on extreme wing mirror base above, I am going to cut and bond the right hand part to the car (once carbon fibred), and butt up my stradale wing mirror to it.

Does anyone know what controls the auto up/down on door windows, fuse location etc?

Cheers

Excellent work Matey Mate
Just one little pointer about your mirror bases
If you cut that much off will it not expose too much of the rubber behind them
Still not looked at my windows again  :-[
Do you have a link or part number for the Boss kit you used ?
Cheers
Mick

Then the stradale wing mirror, buts up to that bit, covering the remainder of the rubber.
This is the boss kit I got, I think mate

I didn't read your post correctly. I see what you mean now
I went and collected my mirrors back from the Hydro-Dippers yesterday.
They had them for 4 weeks and all they have done is prep and primed.
Oh well didn't pay them and bought them home
Will order the boss
Thanks
Mick

Found out why driver side window won't fit properly, the fibreglass door skin overhangs too much by approximately 5mm, forcing the window in too far.
Bit of bodywork methinks :)

Well done buddy ,the steering wheel looks class , like mick said the door should be a doddle and you hav got about 1/2 an inch where the rubber fits, but I'm sure you will be carefull with the new paint ,jd
