Door panel Cheater

Postby Tanz » Sun 17.01.2021, 16:09

Described on the parts list as a door panel cheater. It is a piece of door trim that covers the wiring to the electric mirror. One of the previous owners has cut a hole in mine so I want to replace it. I think the part number is D100V0058F page 96 of the parts list, item 39 on the diagram. Its on the drivers door, RH side.

I put that part number into SJ's web site but not recognised.

Ant idea where I might get one?

There is a left and a right on ebay at the moment, but 3d print versions and quite pricey.

Thanks for the reply KenS. New ones (3d printed?) are available on Ebay but £35. I put in an offer of £20 but haven't had a response yet. Might end up paying 35 as the existing panel looks a mess.

Part no looks to be correct for OSF

https://www.deroure.com/diagrams.asp?TB ... 0&ST=&SC=0

SJS is actually listing them as obsolete https://www.sjsportscars.com/parts-and- ... V0058F.htm?

Have you tried SW Lotus, Paul Matty, PNM and all the other usual suspects ie DVB etc.....

I'm looking for the left side door cheater panel (D100V0059F), it's missing from the car I just bought. I was just informed by SJ that these are no longer available. I also checked PNM.

I sent a DM to chrisP asking about his carbon fiber panels. Anyone know of a current source for other ones?

I ended up finding a 3D printed one in the UK on eBay. The seller was margaret_65, you could try messaging her to ask whether it's feasible to make more.

Thank you! I’ll try to find her. Did you have to modify it to fit?

I didn't need to modify it, my body shop fit it when I had them do a bunch of other work. I don't know whether they used an adhesive or something to keep it in place.
