Thanks Vernon
That drill of mine will be getting some use, Poor fizzle is gonna look like he's been machine gunned
Who bought some black clips recently and has 4 spare ?
Some little nuts and bolts and a dab of underseal will do for now I reckon
He's gonna look so
with those sidies on 
VmanC managed to re-use mine (such a hero...); but he did suggest that some of the BMW ones on that link I posted earlier might do the job....
I did buy some non original ones but they turned out to be too small. If you've got a pop rivet gun you could fit them that way!
When you've drilled your holes for the side trims make sure you paint the bare metal edge rather than rushing the fit and leaving them bare. :nono:

No pop rivet gun
Plenty of nuts and bolts though What's best to use on the bare metal? I have primer, under seal, stone chip paint, kurust, aerosol topcoat all at my disposal!

Primer then top coat should do it. Leave it a day to harden off before you fit the fixings or you will just rub it off again.

Got 'em !
Thanks Vernon
PM me the damage *wince*I also got the rolls of badge tape as well from ebay.
It's a bit damp today here and I'm booked to take Mum round the shops this afternoon so looks like play times postponed
Mind you getting a bit anxious about marking up and drilling holes.
:idea: Aston Martin Have you still got your Italian panda doors at home?
Perhaps I could come and take a look and get some measurements off them?
Could really do with a template of some kind I suppose.

These are the images I want to photo shop together :
Free online software is pretty useless as there aren't any destructions

I have the old doors from my Sisley which I can take some measurements from if you want? I'll also see what I can do with the wheels abit later.
can't be bothered to start p'shopping - but here is a panda on seicento sporting alloys...

That's lowered though so take into account you'll have a bigger arch gap.

Yeah I did notice the 40mm drop, that's a tad over an inch and a half in old money, or the width of a couple of fingers.
I think I'd get away with them though, plenty of air in those arches anyway and what's 1" and 1/2" between friends?
They do stick out at bit at the front width ways - would this be a legal problem?
I like them though, wonder what they will look like in black on a red car
Thanks blu73 for the link
Really appreciate some measurements etc panda1408

they don't look like they stick out the arches to me... them tyres will be 185 though and you don't have to have tyres that wide if you don't want. They have 165/55 as standard so is gonna be a bit thinner. I assume you are watching the black set on ebay...?
Whats the stock wheel specs for a panda? the offset of these wheels is 27.5, if i knew the width and offset of stock panda wheels i can tell you much more/less clearance there will be inside and outside of wheel. Or you can use one of the many online calculators.

Same as Charmanda's drop, you do actually notice it. I'm sure you'll be wanting to lower if you get them :devil:
they do just look right to me with that drop to me.. still looks like plenty of clearance on 13" wheels.
Hope this helps
Measurements are to the hole centres btw.
I reckon that works pretty well. Dropping may help even more....

That's a great help thanks so much
Wow, can't even see the join

Yeah, but with that much fresh air to play with 14"s maybe.....
