How Do,

I bought some of those anti scratch door scoop things that sit behind the door handles with the full intention of fitting them making my mini look a little less standard but it hit me what the hell to i use to make them not fall off the door, glue? Double Sided Sticky Stuff? Nails? I just dont kno, i dont want to mess my paint job up.

Must be a tried and tested thing, help! Please :lol:

Cheers, Nathan

Well you normally have to take the handles off and then the scoops are put on and held inplace by the handles..

well if anyone that wears rings opens a door it it most likely that it will end up being scratched without the guards. :grin:

What about keys...But they tend to scratch around the handle, unless ur careful, its just passengers with no respect you need to worry about. :dontgetit:

The thing is.......no passengers. Ive sorted that one out, back seats gone and for a short while got rid of the passenger seat. Ive never heard people complain like passengers; "I can get me legs in", "I dont like this song", They complain even bloody more when you take the seats out.

So let me get this "you can take anyone in the back", Yeh thats right "Wel nah nah nah nah how am i gona get a lift bla bla bla" Always bloody moaning, lol
