ive been thinkin bout getting the minidoors alloy skin and fittin to my doors...

the problem is doesnt aluminium react with steel and cause problems? i had an alu bike and steel saddle post and it 'welded' itself inside....

do they treat their own doors or just leave as std?

i dont see the problem! they only reacted where they met, and that'll be where the skin meets the steel door, hence it wont fall off!

Well you cannot weld ally to steel so I guess he bonds them, and they shouldn't react.

by the way minidoors is one old guy in a shed!

He's bloody good though! Highly recommended.

Depends on what your willing to spend. Minispares sell the late mpi doors with the crash bar, and they are £300+ each.

All relative.

Don't know bout the slidey windows.
