[Mstngcobr761]

mine are due to arrive on Wednesday, I'm anxious to see what yours look like...

Read that you ordered them awhile back and I really like the look, curious to see what you do with them. I need them for my car, the stock door panels stick out too much for the cage

Yeah I got the fastener kit!

One or two? Unless you skip every other hole, one kit (10 fasteners) won't be enough for both panels.

what I meant was is there a template for drilling the holes for the fastener kit?
It can be done without it with patience but I really don't want to screw up the cf panels they are just to sexy ! LOL

No template from the panel shop. I plan to use an OE door panel as a template (or as a template to make a final template).

Velcro works like a charm for me. Love 'em.

Got mine today but there where no holes drilled for the screws???
Do they have a template foir the screws?? Or are they supposed to come with them predrilled?

The door panels only get pre-drilled for the window crank, latch, and door handle (based on what you specified). How you mount them is up to you. A few folks with street cars have used Velcro, not to mar the look. Most others in the GB ordered the fastener kits along with the panels:

I may have a couple of extra kits left over. If you're interested, PM me. May be cheaper than shipping from the UK.

I was totally out of the loop when this went down. I was not on forums or anything.

Anyway, I'm probably ordering a set today. If someone wants a set and wants to split the shipping, let me know.

Sweet, thanks for letting me know!

Hi Alex,

No reply to my last 2 emails from Mike.

I spoke with Mike today. Your panels definitely shipped, by FedEx, and you should get them any day (it took a while for FedEx to pick up again). He was driving, so I asked him to e-mail you the tracking number.

Mike saw your e-mails, and apologized for not responding -- they have been swamped, trying to catch up on all the orders they put aside for our GB.

Hey mate,

All 2-door panels and rear trims have shipped and, AFAIK, delivered -- except, obviously, for you. :) One US guy ordered panels for a 4-door, and they were done separately, at the very end. Not sure if he got them yet.

US shipments, both bulk and direct, went by FedEx, but I don't know how the factory shipped to Australia. Could it be by boat?

I'm out of town again, and will return on Tuesday. If you don't hear back from Mike by then, let me know and I'll try calling him.
