hey guys im in a tight spot lately as i've been needing to replace both the driver side doors on my superb due to a number of issues after a lovely colision back in december. :'( :swear:

Here is a list of the issues i have grown to live with:

  • The drivers door exterior handle is b***xed to say the least. it doesnt work at all so to get into the drivers seat you either have to climb over the passenger side or lean over from passenger side or rear and open from the interior door release.
  • The drivers window regulator also took some damage and has chewed through its original cable and also a £35 replacement cable as soon as i fitted it so this was a kick to the teeth..
  • The rear drivers door has soom nasty cosmetic damage including a number of dents and creases and the lower door trim is hanging on after one of the clips no longer hold in place. Also the plasitc trim half way up the door is now mishaped.
  • Neither the drivers windows are original. They aren't even skoda! they came from a passat as that was the best my local breaker could offer at the time and seeing as my lovely skoda windows were in very tiny pieces scattered around the car i had no other choice. the rear doesnt even fit the shape of the door in the corners so i have to use gaffa tape to make them weather proof.

My preferable resolution to all this is to simply replace both doors and scrap these two. but this is proving to be a royal pain in the ass as all my local srap dealers haven't had any superbs in for a long time and show not much chance of getting any in a hurry. the next option was trying ebay but the prices on there are rediculous as they want postage to be added including charges for them stripping the parts in the first place so they want around £100 for a door shell alone (robbing b*****ds :bandit: ) where as my local breaker would charge me £50 for both doors lol

If anybody has a local scap yard that has a superb in could you quote a price and location and also i would prefer it to be silver to match the car to avoid unneccisary painting costs.

consider this an easter egg hunt. :thumbup::giggle:
