    RS2 door cards with carbon

    I need to sell a few 'spares' I have to raise some cash for the next bout of mods, so I am selling on the set of RS2 door cards I have complete with carbon fibre trims.

    They are in good condition BUT..... they will only fit a LHD Avant, not a coupe, or a RHD avant. So if any of our Euro cousins know anyone who wants a full set of four door cards with Carbon trims, please PM me.

    Cheers!
    Martyn

      Is it something to do with the door bins?

      The switches are in the handle......

        The LHD drivers door card has a cut out for the window switches which is visible when the RHD passenger door handle is put on. Also, there is no cut out for wiring to the switches on the LHD passenger door card which becomes a RHD drivers door card.
        Also, the two door cards are not symetrical. The dash comes out slightly further on the drivers side than the passenger side, so a LHD drivers door card will fit on a RHD car, but it will leave a gap between the door card and the dash. Conversely, I believe that a LHD passenger door card fitted to a RHD car will mean that the door won't shut properly, because the door card sticks out too far.
        Bit of a bummer all round!

        Hope you get them sold OK Martyn.

          Thanks Sid, good explanation.

          The coupe and the avant door trims are more different than I thought.
