I've swapped a few e-mails with Barry from Carbontec this evening.

Payment details will be released when the parts are available for each person on the list.....

Cheshire was first, so he gets to pay first (that should make sense) and recieve them first.

I'm sixth, and I'm told I should hear payment details towards the end of next week.....by paypal or CC...I'm guessing the bits will be shipped after payment is accepted.

A better sized matt/gloss pic....

*UPDATE*

For those that have missed the 'group buy' I will post details of how/when/where to get them from as soon as the first batch are sent out.

FAO Covert.

btw I dont think there will another 'Group Buy'. I think you will have to buy them direct from Carbontec.

When refitting the door cards and inserts, I found that fitting the door handle guards first, then the insert (with the doorcard already attached if you have detached it) was the easiest and quickest. Glad you all like them. They are a nice fit too, so everyone with an N/A with the earlier OEM door handle guards will see that theres an extra lip to help them fit better thumbsup

Any thoughts on other parts he might be interesting in producing. Sure there is a market for reasonable priced items. Wouldn't mind some sill plates (similar to the .org ones) if he fancies some easy money! ;)

I don't suppose anyone has come up with a part number for the little plastic screw rivets that hold them on (two each side) :blink: :unsure: It's not listed in the EPC - I'm quite friendly with the girl on the parts list at the dealer and she called up a few different people trying to trace it, but they all came back with "that part doesn't exist" :beat: Eventually she found me a similar part from the rear seat of a Zafira, but with a 'push-in' centre, so if I ever have to remove it the centre part will be lost (and no doubt rattle :rolleyes: ) in the door skin If all else fails I've found a place not far from me that can supply them, but I'd have to buy a minimum of 200 :rolleyes: Anyone else need any if I end up going down this route :huh:

Got mine today as well, made it to Sweden as well thumbsup Looking great in gloss finish. Looking forward to updates on other bits 'n' pieces, at least door cards should be the same on LHD and RHD.
