Looking at replacing and I thought they were dark grey but have seen some for sale advertised as dark blue? Are they the same or are there different colours? I actually want them to fit in a 2wd with (what I thought was dark grey cloth) and I'll just replace the insets but now I'm confused...

Dark cloth will have the dark blue door cards which match the dash.
By dark blue they are almost black.

JasonPD

I've got a blue dash

Yeah just checked and I guess it is kinda blue, I just called it grey.. Cheers for the response

I was bidding on a pair of front door cards on ebay yesterday. I got out bid. They went for 200quid l0l.

ive tried to recover them but there an absolute nightmare to get the vinyl to mold round the door arm rest.

I was watching those too as mine are not the best, never bidded though as they are just not worth that money, I'd rather do without.

£207 - way more than my bid was. I thought I was in with a chance but the price pretty much doubled in the last 30 seconds...

I only need a drivers one.

Is there not a company that can re trim these for a reasonable price?

I knew they would go for good money but not over200 quid.

I had a bid on them but they were well out of my price for what I would pay for some

Never thought of them as blue, always assumed they were black!?

200 quid?! Shit the bed, glad mine are ok!!

Just for your info, the later spec 92 cards might not fit the early doors as they need a 4th screw hole for the door handle
Just in case you were thinking of bidding

They will fit but the door skin may have to be modified to accept the extra clip

Dojj, you're a mine of information!

been there done that with virtually EVERY nut bolt screw and clip on my estate

i actually found it easier to change the entire door (both drivers side and rear passenger side) than to unplug and run the wires and stuff and so when i swapped the inside gubbings on the other side was when i hit all sorts of problems, even the locks needed "persuading" to get into position from the 92 spec car into my 89 spec door, plus some of the plug ends needed swapping over AND the central locking cycles the opposite way, so i was locking the car and it would unlock, and vise versa

that was an absolute ball ache to remedy

but on a happier note, you can still retain the older style locks with the newer style door cards, the newer ones look much better i think and if you can get hold of them from a GT car they normally come in black too

2wd have round speakers, 4wd have semi-square don't they? Just in case details are important mate.

That's only the grilles from memory mate, and some are domed because if the different speakers in them
The hardest part is to not scratch the panels when you get the 2 screw covers off

cossiestu

Mine are 'rounded' square with a domed grill....

JasonPD

Well, I had sourced just the passengers side which is dark cloth also and after spending hours re sticking down the sides (it was better than mine as not saggy on door cards) I fitted it to discover that yes the speaker grills are different to the drivers side which is round and the replacement card has the semi-square surrounds....

Oh well, I'll just keep an eye out for the other side to match or I will have to see if an upholsterer can fix the originals. Spoke to someone at simply ford that had a local guy stretch and stick his for £10 per side..! I'm happy to pay whatever it takes (well within reason) s it is the only thing that lets the inside of my car down.
