Looks great Parksy, I like the door trims mate, not sure about the Black but Black is your colour so works well. I have used screws to hold on my door trims for nearly 10 years, I have used the gold coloured self drilling tek screws and they look good mate, if you don't like the silver maybe the gold would look ok......or get the Texta out mate they will be Black and Invisible in minutes!

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever. WARNING: Towballs used for recoveries can, and do kill people and damage property.
In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.
I like it all the same mate. The new door trim looks great. Maybe blacken those screw heads if you feel the urge, but take it or leave it, the whole package looks great.
Between Patrols ATM. Had a beaut GU with 6.5 Chev TD. Next is a GU ute with a 4.5 litre Cummins conversion and a camper on the back.
Gloss is easier to get a good finish in my opinion. It's easy to polish it, as opposed to Matt black where you can't do anything otherwise the finish is changed, then it looks inconsistent.
I like the black marker idea, I will definitely be doing it.
A brighter pic. Forgot to mention before, because of the extra thickness of the wood, I had to trim the handle surround, but that was basically it. Don't notice anything out of place when it's all together.
Looks cool mate, I redid the cards on my mq. I used clips cause I didnt think screws would look too flash over black vinyl. What contact adheisve did you use? I had a nightmare getting quik grip (spray can) to bond the vinyl to mdf. After a few goes round with the spray I purchased the tin, better bang for your buck and worked like a dream.
