Oh yeah definitely, Ive worked out how to remove most of the plastic from the leccy window switches so could make a little bracket for them.
Im aware that they would need finishing but its nothing a bit of wet and dry paper then some metal polish cant fix.
If you mount it below the level of the sticky outy bit at the top then the inside of the door is flat
Personaly I cant stand the look of bare doors so i want some sort of covering.
Sam ally sheet wont be as cheap as plastic and is more likely to rattle.
A standard door card weighs 2820g (passenger side) and thats without all the bits of trim like mirror covers, handle surround, speaker grille and such like.
