Hi, I thought I'd take a moment to introduce my self and more importantly my car. I have owned my 19 cabriolet for a couple of years now and only recently decided its time to add a few touches to it. So far I have added the obvious 18" rims Stainless Steel Exhaust and Induction kit. However I thought Id try a different interior and went for a megane cabriolet interior. Of course the door cards are different and here lies my problem. My car is green the interior in green/grey but my cards are not. I bought some leather for the cards but this did not mould properly and it looked horrific. I have tried to purchase cards from ebay but without success. Is there anything I can use to retrim the door cards without it looking pants or is there anywhere i can get some cards from.
Thanks for taking time to read my Q and I look forward to any replies

the 19 cards are quite a complex shape, the megane ones are far more simpler, flatter basically ansd they aere also plastic as its a cheap nasty interior.
Go custom on the door cards to0 get them leathered up. |

No I totally agree
the exhaust is wrong. Its to far past the bumper but this is something that is getting sorted in the next few weeks.
When it was held on it was fine but it had to be custom fitted and once it was all clamped up it seemed to have shifted. then the rain started so I decided to leave it till the weekend after to sort......................that was 2 months ago !!! |

Yeah I reckon so but I didnt realise there were so many different exhaust cinfigurations when I bought it. However for what it cost (ebay) it was such a bargain its was worth a go. |

there are only 2... and the only difference between them is the length of the final tailpipe on the backbox |
