SwedishBob 23 1 Cars Posted October 31, 2007 I have heard from some people that the doors from XS and other "budget" models are lighter then the GTI doors. And that it isn't just the GTI interiors that makes the doors heavier. Can this be correct? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jrod 7 Posted October 31, 2007 Sounds like rubbish to me, I've never weighed them so can't guarentee. The door carbs on XS's are nearly identical to gti ones anyway so I can't see them being lighter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SwedishBob 23 1 Cars Posted October 31, 2007 I agree. It sounds really strange, but I think it's worth looking into. Might save 1 or 2 kilos. Have found a pair of XS doors that I can get for free. Maybe that I pick them up this weekend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SwedishBob 23 1 Cars Posted October 31, 2007 Would be great if you could weight it before Friday. I have a GTI door in my garage that I can weight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hilgie 16 2 Cars Posted October 31, 2007 I have already done that...there is no weight difference whatsoever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SwedishBob 23 1 Cars Posted October 31, 2007 I have already done that...there is no weight difference whatsoever. What I suspected from the beginning. Thanks for the answer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
