As above. I'll go into the gory details elsewhere on the foum, but thanks to some nice person deciding to drive into me at the weekend, I'm just scouting for any PFL door panels. I've got a probable source of some FL ones locally, however if I can get PFL ones it just saves a bit of aggro with the wiring looms etc. Also that gets me the correct side trims 'free', too.

Paint etc should be done on the insurance, hence colour not a major worry, but if anyone can help me with a NS/FUll set of PFL doors in un-rusty, as close-to-mint condition as possible, please let me know 

Obviously scrapes and wear not an issue, just dings and rust I'm hoping to avoid. Thanks people!

  I will check to be sure what side it is, but a rear door is to become available down this way and its not rusted, PFL as well

Did you get sorted ?

[Diamond Black Geezer]

Hi, thanks for asking Zuffenhausen 

Yes and no. Insurance have made an offer of £590 and I keep the car, no messing with Cat D blah blah. Not happy with that, but that will hopefully change for the better, as the bill for paint and labour is £800

I have bought a car local which is in Diamond Black. It's a PFL with replacement mint FL doors with an ok spray job on them. Bodycolour FL door trims fitted, so will require re-using my originals plus spare ones I sourced (before the smash, as spares!) I still need a passenger side PFL door trim and possibly a CDX badge (may have a spare one)

On the one hand I'm sorted, because I have all the panels and parts I need (excluding the door trim as above) on the other hand, that's replacing my lovely-finish door and wing with an ok spray jobbed one. And still have a scratch on my rear wing and bare steel rotting away merrily.  which will require bodyshop time.

So unless anyone happens to have mint doors in Diamond black Z266 (which is not the same as Z20R, the metallic black as used on facelifts, sadly) I think I'm 'ok'

Not perfect, but could be worse.
