Armor Door Plates

Sorry for my poor skills on paint but basically whaat I meant was the red areas. That way they could be blended in a little to the body work a little!!

Blue_Joe, If painted Black perhaps but would it be needed if painted body colour?

[Blue_Joe 0]

I think it definatly would be, particularly if painting body colour. I just think it looks out of place as it is

How're u getting on with the ADP's? Satin Black would be the best finish.

Does the door or lock mechanism need any alterations to fit?

 

On a related note what does your handle repair kit consist of and how much? The handle that was damaged by the would be tea-leafs is a bit sticky now.

 

Cheers

Finishing touches to do on the door plates. There are no alterations to door or lock mechanism.

Those are looking good Dave, tho have to say I agree with Blue_Joe's thoughts on the edge blending. Had my vr attacked there a couple of yrs ago so would deffo be interested - just can't make up my mind which colour finish would look best. I used to be indecisive but now I'm not so sure :lol:

I made a couple of pairs which I sent out. Andi (admin) had a pair but I don't know if he had them fitted. The other pair went to someone on the Corrado Yahoo group if I remember correctly.

 

I haven't touched them in at least 6 months but I need to do a slight mod to them as the early and late handles have very slight differences that affect a universal fit.

Ah yes - its another one of those 'get around to it' jobs... they're all sprayed up and ready and have been for months now!!

i'm looking at buying an 89 corrado in dark metallic green, in sounds all good,

i haven't seen the damage but it didn't sound too messy according to the seller!

all i can think of is ADP's to cover it up, i cant think how else to repair it. can they fix fiddly things like that in body shops without it turning into an expensive job?

whats that dark metallic green paint like to match?

anyone?

i emailed gti-bits.co.uk, they said they do stock adp's for corrados but they come up listed as for 'polo 95>99'.

are these really goin to fit?

[daves16v 1]

mau803, I doubt it would be a cheap job to repair but you can always get an estimate.

 

If you need the door plates just give me a shout and I'll see what I can do.

Dave, what did the price work out at for these plates in the end?

[daves16v 1]

I think it was about £30 per pair.
