The drivers door is a different blue, the door handle looks the same as the rest of the panels... Don't mean to criticise your car Daz, just looks different to me. Maybe take the door card off & see if there's champ white lurking behind there. The arctic blue does appear lighter if painted onto a white basecoat.

I think I just have a small doubt tbh Tone. Talking to a friend on Saturday who does bodywork and resprays, he reckons I might be worrying over nothing. He was saying that wrapping will only be as good as the bonnet underneath, and if there were any issues with the paint, you'd actually see them in the wrap. It is a pretty good job that has been done, so once we get a decent day, I'll fire on with removing it. I think at the moment, with the Fiesta going wrong so badly, I'm still sort of Once Bitten kind of thing, if you know what I mean.

So, when i got the car there was some damage to the door material, i said i'd sort it ASAP. So i got on EBay and purchased some Faux Suede material for £6 for 1mtr x 1.5mtr. Then got hold of some contact adhesive and started the job. The door cards came off very easily, which i was pleased with.

And the final re-trimmed doors

The final items look great in the flesh, they are slightly lighter than the seat material, but you can only spot it in the daylight, with the doors closed it's not as visible.
