buy some black material (like wat u use to cover sub boxes etc) and use that to cover the door cards.
just my 2p worth!

As far as I can tell, they already have fabric glued to the plastic card thing, so you might be able to strip it off to get to the plastic part which can be sprayed.

i was thinkin about this. im sure u could get some fabric dye and put in on with a brush. wont scrap yards let u take anything out of the interior, i was relyin on a scrapyard to get some door pocket things.

baza well most of the scrap yards round here will not separate the sportier models but the lesser ones they are more likely

covering them is a piece of piss mate, aslong as you get thin material, the thick stuff used for sub boxes ect aint that easy to use!! Cant believe the scappy wont just let you take random bits......i did!!!
