Default Flat door cards in a Classic? Sheet of carbon?

Has anyone tried fitting a sheet of carbon or similar as a door card in a classic? Just wondered if it fitted well, or if there are too many undulations in the door?

Cheers

I will be attempting this soon with a sheet of alloy, also going to knock it into a curve at the top of the door so it looks neat

So not a pretty flat fit then

Just lost on a set of door cards on ebay, as guy reckons it will cost £100 to post them to Jersey! I have had exhausts and turbos posted for less- even a full set of coilovers was less than £40 by courier.

These were pretty leather ones in mint condition- mine have a few marks on them, and a full carbon set is about 700.

Hi mate

Made some using sheet aluminium,looks ok,fairly cheap and can get away with it but there again my interior is fully stripped out.
Used some door trim to finish edges
The surface is far from flat unfortunatley

Other option is to save up for carbon door cards but afre fairly expensive

That does look difficult actually!! Same rollcage as mine- annoying how it hits the rear door handles. The carbon ones get round this, but 700 is too much- shame no fibreglass ones about.
