I had a go at this on my car, but i made several different panels so that its all removeable. UK regs mean i had to add a slit for the inertia reels, which can eventually be covered by the FIA suitcase panel.

hopefully these pics will load:

and the door skin, ala CSX4027

Good luck with it - its worth it!

If you have problems getting vynil to fit, borrow your wife's hairdryer and gently heat the affected area - the heat is gentle enough to allow you to tug at the vynil around awkward areas, but not so strong as to melt and distort the vynil itself. Often easer with an extra pair of hands to hold one end of the sheet, and the other pair of hands to tug it into position before the contact adhesive takes. If the vynil gets burning hot to the touch, then stop - you've over done it.

btw, the hair dryer might overheat...... if you leave it for 1/2 hour it should recover,..... usually.
