Guest tetsu0 Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Hi, I have recently bought a nice clean MK3 cab on an A plate,the interior has a few flaws though with a tear on the drivers side seat and one on the rear seat,I have a complete mint condition half leather Recaro interior set from a limited edition MK4 cab including door cards and am thinking of fitting this in the MK3,as far as I can tell I would'nt be able to swap the door cards as they are different,different handle holes etc. so am wondering how to get round this,is my only option to get MK3 door cards re-trimmed in the later style material?Any advice would be greatly appreciated,thanks,Lee.

Guest Alanman Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 You can do it but it will mean cutting the door to relocate the handle. It might look more original if you could retrim the Mk3 with the Mk4 material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tetsu0 Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Thanks for the quick reply,I think Im gonna go with the re-trimming,I do want to maintain the original look of the MK3 style and I do like the style of the MK3 door cards,thanks again,Lee.

Guest tetsu0 Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Yeah I heard back from him Friday,I then e-mailed him back Friday asking him about the door cards condition and how much with postage he would want for them but I havent had a reply yet,if you can get in touch with him that would be great,I have also started another topic in the items wanted section of the forums regarding window rubbers for my MK3,so if anyone can give me some advice as to how to get my hands on some that would be massively appreciated.
