Question Wot are scoob doors made from?

Judging by the number of dents in mine from careless door opening by those who park next to me (and it's only been on the road for 5 months)..... I'm going to guess at a fairly light grade of tinfoil, although butter is another possibility

Forest,

If you look closely at the stone chips in the doors, can you confirm that there is something behind the paint ?? And I mean something a bit more structural than primer !!!!!

Cool

My vote is for crisp packets, seem to have about the right structural integrity!

Durex Featherlite? You must have one of the special edition cars with strengthened door skins, then. My doors are made from Safeway Savers Clingfilm
