minidoor company
i think you have to send them your doors for reskinning

[MiniDick]

I think they charge £150+ for each door. you send them to em and they reskin em and send them bak to you. Cheaper than buying new doors!

[minidan]

when i rebuild my mini im going to get a pair of those streetfighter doors.

[mini_kel]

i spoke to the guy at the minidoor company at SMD`s,He does sell them separately!

Yeah but a pair of 2nd hand fairly rust free doors cost £70-100 on their own. Rather spend the extra and get it done properly.

[Carl-Brit]

so you send your door to them they send you a recon 1 in return for £90 odd all inc (bottom arepair and skin)
there is nothing about a ally door skin on that link.

i think you have to go for the streetfighter doors to get the ally skin ones but i am sure if you ring and talk to him then he will do a normal door with the ally skin although it seems pretty pointless in having a lightweight skin and still have all the door internals

[The Matt]

Yeah, just replacing the metal skin for an alloy one is pointless if youre doing it for weight reduction. If you're doing it to prevent the tinworm fairy opening a can of whoop ass on your doors, then that's fair enough!

[Sam Walters]

well partly that but i will cut out the inners and convert to mk1 windows and such, i just think that ill be saveing lots of money if i do it myself.

I have a pair of these alloy doorskins, £30 each, come complete with sound pads, sealant and some angle bar which are used for the bottom window channel, I can't remember how much I paid for the skins and stuff but I'm sure it was quite a bit more

I'm based in Chandlers Ford, Hampshire

i might see what tdk can do, i might go fiberglass. altho not as light as a fiberglass door, it stops all the bending out at the top at speed malarky!
