Just a case of getting the hole sizes correct?
There are plastic clips AND screws so you mount it the same way as the stock door card.

Yes, as Thomas says all fittings are supplied. Even a tool to put the rivnuts in the door to attach the handles to. I'll take some more pics tomorrow when I put them on.

A few key pics of the install for those interested:

My standard door card:



Door stripped down:



Door pull strap fitted. The metal rod along with its plastic bushing that had to be removed is shown hanging on the left (no longer attached). The strap is then just fastened with a nut and bolt:



With the new card temporarily in place the holes for the handle were marked, drilled out (10 mm drill bit) and the supplied rivnuts inserted with the guide tool (shown on the left) and a 10 mm socket wrench:



I removed the door speaker bin from the old card and fixed it to the back of the new card:



I won't be re-using the old speaker!



My door has plastic plugs round the bottom edge so I had to use the old self tapping screws to fix the door card rather than the new normal screws that came with the kit:



New door card in place. Just need to get some suitable coaxial speakers to fit now (I've done away with the tweeters and therefore the need for crossovers).



The only thing that didn't go to plan is that I couldn't get the trim either side of the new handles to 'snap' in place like they should (StanUK mentioned he had the same issue). They sit in place OK but I need to investigate further as that will bug me!

Looking good Steve! I'm wishing I followed your lead with speakers but too late now. I'm thinking blu tack at the moment for the handle trims, not very Porsche but they just don't stay on...

Steve,

Thanks for taking the time to photograph and write up; all very helpful.

Hope you find a solution to the handle trim issue ..... and let us know the remedy.

Thanks again!

Steve, it looks nice. The "fix" with the covers for the handle is easy. Put 1-2 washers between the handle and the door card. It will give the cover a little more room so it can snap in place.

Looks good - does this mean you are going to change the colour of the rest of the interior?

I've been gradually changing it over time. With the original seats in it was VERY burgundy! With the black recaros, black floormats, black door cards and a black gear stick (soon). It's now got a two tone effect which I like a lot more than the very 'in yer face' full burgundy that it used to have. Next year I may go one step further and fit a lightweight black carpet set. When I get a chance I'll post some better interior pics.
