GT Door Cappings ***FOUND***

Post by Tomaselli » Thu Jul 28, 2011 12:08 pm

Looking for a pair of vinyl door cappings as fitted to Alpine GT and (late?) Tigers.

Preferably an original set, does not need to be concours :mrgreen:

Tony,

You mean just the metal part... or you want the whole lot, vynil and foam as well?

Would like the vinyl and foam together, so I suspect that will mean the metal frame also as they were glued originally (?) But if anybody has just the vinyl and foam, then that would be great as I will of course be able to use my own existing metal frames. :D

How buggered are yours?
Could you not make some more using the originals as a template/mould?
Expanding foam is your friend. :D

That's a plan B Martin, but I'd rather to get a decent original set - trying to keep my car as standard looking as possible :lol:

Hi Tony, I think I did mine just using a sheet of thin foam, no moulding required (was a few years back though) :?:

Thanks Gary, but would be happier with an original set. I'd consider just the vinyl if anybody has anything for me :lol:
