Handmade WRC rear doors. This is how Prodrive did it and this is exactly how the real works cars are.

I'll let the photos do the talking.

Nowhere near finished but the 1st door gets some epoxy and high build primer on it.

Before anyone asks. It's not supposed to be smoothed to the door as that's how the S7/8 cars were. Only the S11 onwards had a blended door.

I know you would never change the colour of your car because it's always been the black bomber but that flat grey would look awsome and show off the lines of the car really well

Yeah the flat grey is a cool trendy colour that works on say an old 911, but WRC cars don't work in grey IMO.

Looks trick on the doors though.

I do prefer the blended look but as you say it's authentic - battleship grey

I'm on the fence with regards to the stickers, I personally think WRCars look far meaner in plain colours with no decals. The rest of your plan sounds awesome though!
