Glad they got there ok andy . its very unfortunate that one door one was kinked as the rest are mint. The passenger door had been resprayed at one point on the black xr2i and whoever took it off pull it off used there bare hands. :rolleyes: :cry:

Btw i would advice not to stick them on when its a really cold day. The dampness in the air wont allow the fresh glue to go off and you may find them peeling off going down the road. :lol:

If you got a nice heated garage to hand .... get em on :)
