Hi,

I am looking for a good rear passenger drivers side door for mini facelift omega.  Noticed rust on bottom corner which looks common problem 

I see there are a few facelift doors about, hopefully same colour (Velvet green I think)

Given my internal and external trim is immaculate on the one I have I had a brainwave that I could get a decent facelift door and transfer all internal and external trim, locks, central locking etc.  Hopefully window tint will match ?

Would this work ?  Or are the fixing holes, clip locations etc difference on a skeleton facelift door compared to mini facelift ?

Andy.

You'll need to swap over the looms, lock plunger, interior latch handle, some clips and lock motors, window motor should be OK, but double check the plugs.

Basically yes it will fit perfectly as the shells are the same, but some checking and swapping to do

Plus the door moulding on PFL`s are a bitch to remove with no damage

OK thanks. Strangely  I had a new external moulding on the door about 8 years ago.  From look of pics of blank door looks like it pushes on and slides towards front of car about an inch to locate ?  Removal I guess is to slide to back of car and the should pull off !! 

Not sure if can perhaps get new external trim now for the door

Fit the facelift trims to all the doors/front wings, job jobbed and a bit of a freshen up... Could do both bumpers, bonnet, headlights and door mirrors as well if you're feeling keen...
