Get a huge bit of paper. Get an even bigger colour printer. Print two of them, one backwards. Stick over your car. Voila!<br><br>Then again, you could always go the solenoids way with the door handles, cut out the old handle recesses and weld them over, and then move the filler neck into the boot.<br><br>Pick the one which appeals most!<br><br>BFA

Sure you don't want to weld up the doors as well. You could get into the car via the sunroof.

You amy have problems with your MOT + Mr plod as i`m pretty certain you need to have a manuel way of getting into the vehicle(door handles) and no you can`t just smash the windows!!<br>

correct, there must be a manual way to get in, besides you'd look a bit of a t!t if the solenoid went and you couldn't get in. most people leave the boot lock on.<br><br>mike <IMG SRC="http://www.v8fiesta.co.uk/ubb/smilies/smokin.gif">

Good question...<br>Well,<br> If the accident is that bad i dare say that a window will be broken. <IMG SRC="http://www.v8fiesta.co.uk/ubb/smilies/wink.gif"> . If all else fails then smash one.<br><br>Also, this situation could also occur if the car was hit that hard that the doors would not open resulting in the roof bieng cut off!<br><br> Cubby.<br><br>[Edited by cubby240 (20-02-2001 at 07:09 PM).]
