I am holding the bottom in for the picture as the side clips are not on yet. Took very little effort though.
Looking forward to seeing pictures of your car when painted.

I've got the new door panels fitted. They fit ok, not perfect but a lot better then the plastic backed Corvette America panels I previously had. The fit much the same as my original panels.
I have also picked up some trim panels off eBay. I never liked the imitation wood paneling so removed this and cut inserts out 1.4mm carbon fibre sheet. For the chrome/dicast trim I etched it with a bead blaster and painted them satin black.
In keeping with the black theme of things, I had the had the interior door handles powder coated satin black. The door pulls where chrome metal units from a C2, these I drilled, bead blasted and coated.
As I had previously removed the heater I decided to simplify the console top plate as well (no need for the heater controls and ash tray). For this I have used 2.4mm carbon fibre plate. I am still working on this but the top section will house the ecu e-dash.
