Title: Spare wheel door question...
Post by: Froger on June 02, 2012, 02:57:58 PM
G'day all ...  Have been watching the ( first link ) for a fibreglass Spare tyre door on ebay that has gone up to $102.00 at the moment , think the ones from Rares is $230.00 ..........
Then I found another site ( second link ) Speeds down in Canberra that have a door for $130.00 so I know which way I'm leaning towards at the moment obviously the speeds one ..
Has anyone used the Speeds one at all and can tell me what they are made of as I haven't rang them yet as I'm composing a list of replacement panels I require for my Van ( which at the moment is getting bigger expected no less ) ..

Don't forget, Speeds is a wrecker, not a manufacturer. I'm not aware of anyone who has used one.

The other thing to consider is the glass ones flex and don't line up with the body correctly when shut. The new Rares door is a plastic one which is much stronger.
