Saxo door replacement query

  1. #1
    Hi guys,

    just a question, I had a bit of a biff a while back, and subsequently had to change the doors on my 02' Saxo. The salvage ones fitted fine, but were from a westcoast model, (mine's only a 1.1 desire) and have that body panel underneath.
    I don't want to pull the panel away in case i damage the new doors, and was wondering how it is actually held on to the car. I take it there are clips in the inside of the doorcard, but I'm not sure.
    Would it be possible to simply remove these, or will there be paintwork to do, or holes to fill, or are the panels even glued on?
    The doors are the same colour and match pretty well with the exception of the kit itself, which is pretty annoying, so any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Andy

    The panels are held on with clips and a bolt at the front edge mate. But if you take it off there will be holes all around it where the clips fit in. Only 2 real options are fit the rest of the vt kit or find a door from s lower model Saxo. Filling the holes in my opinion isn't worth the money it would cost in work and paint.
