I meant in relation to the existing plastic door pocket. If I remove it I would be left with indentations and holes. If I left it I suspect it would look silly.
Sounds like you had a good car there! Likewise all mine have been pretty reliable, its just the bodywork! ;D I have 2 cdi's, a 1.8 hatch 86 and a 2.0 saloon 87. I need to sell one but do not know which one as I like both!
Thought I'd update with a picture of my latest cav. Probably be recognised by a few of you! Nice looking car in pretty good condition. It makes me appreciate that the gold CDi I have up for sale is actually in excellent condition save for the wheel arches!
