Nice one Carlos.

My hinges caught too, added a shim or two and a quick grind and worked fine. Shims may affect your gap tho !!

If I add shims on the top it'll spoil all my lines and probably catch at the back.

 

The gap at the back is spot on.

 

I'll modify them with the grinder, they were only an absolute fortune to buy

It was a good laugh, pity your Mrs was hiding from me, I hope she didn't feel like she had to keep out the way.

 

I could do with a hand to hang the drivers door.

Only the name these days. Why don't they just call them VW and have done with it.

 

They are making a mistake in my opinion by reviving the names of their worst cars like Rapid etc.

 

The Skud will do if its as good as they say it is
