Drove to an excellent place called Cwmcarn & we took the forest drive, you have to pay £5 per vehicle to drive around but its well worth it:-

We weren't the only Volkswagens there & I spotted these at the bottom in the car park:-

I pulled the hardboard out of my RHS door panel, put it on top of my ABS plastic one & I found that I had to trim the plastic quite a lot. It then spray glued the panel & vinyl & stuck them together. I then glued the back edge & stuck it with duck tape. Once the glue drys I'll remove the duck tape & then it should all look good. All of the holes in the card I had to drill to match the hardboard ones so I can use the factory clips:-

Look how distorted the old panel is:-

Looking good & straight now:-
