No, but I dont think it will be good. The frames will still be made of something that rusts. And it will probably feel flimsy.
Those do seem to be a big improvement on standard. Know a few people who have gone over to them.

That's a good price too.
I wonder what would be better: zintec coated skins on steel frames or galvanised frames with aluminium skins? (Not including the obvious galvanised frames and zintec skins)

That's bad news. I've bought a few things off them without any hassle.

no aluminum is best as no chance of the galvanic corrosion , i have a mate/customer who has a smart 300 tdi he likes to keep perfect doors had been replaced a few years ago and had the blisters along the bottom, steel doors seems to be the answer as removes the issue, the zinc in the door skin will protect frames as well

I've seen fibreglass doors used on a rallying Discovery, for weight saving. They seem pretty good but do flex quite a bit. The ones you've found might be different though.

Do you have a link?
I need new doors and was going to get the new style ones that are stamped from steel from SPL but I couldn't find door cards anywhere for pumas.
And yes I have also had a door from SPLandrover that the courier bent the corner of. I just lived with it

Because by the time I had noticed my friend had already painted it! It was only a cheap rear door.
Do you have a part number? I couldn't find them.
