NOT easy.

We did it to some SEAT doorcards, and alls we had to do was change the material part from one card to another.

The material bits were affixed to plastic, and WELDED to the other part of the door card.

We ended up drilling out the plastic welds, and refitting with loads of Sika-Flex.

It worked, but it was a ball-ache to do.

Scoob doorcards are similar, take one off and have a look.....takes about 5 minutes to remove a doorcard.

it will be good if they are on a moulded plastic backing as ive found a company in essex that will cover anything you give them in carbon fiber! thought this would be a little different!

I SEEM to think they are, but can't remember whether they can be removed at all, even by drilling out welds.

Take one off, as I said, it really IS a piece of p*ss.
