Karmann Ghia Reproduction Door Panels

[Marcdeb]

These reproduction door panels are sold by multiple sellers on Ebay. they look closer to original in design and they have the two chrome bars which I like.

Has anyone tried these that can provide a review? Most of the ebay sellers of these are in Europe but I wonder if they are made in China??

I've installed a lot of these. But in general I think theres two manufacturers - the "chrome bars" in one of them ends cuts sharp and the other is more rounded like the original ( I can provide photos). Overall fit is ok, materials are durable. Cons - 4 corner holes for mounting clips are way off and in most cases you cant use clip there, and sometimes holes for the clips on the doors are visible. Also sometimes holes for mounting inner door handle is a bit off (higher or lower) so my suggestion is to put few of the lower clips and try the door card on the door to check before mounting the hadle, maybe you need to make new holes. Otherwise good product. Only few basic colors.
