Thanks for all the replies and the laselle ones look nice but a little pricey. Because I have a pair of brand new doors I was probably being a little anal wanting new cards too but I was going to put the soundproofing between the door and new cards when I get them. I can get the bottoms but I...

Hi can anyone recommend where to get some series door cards from I have found the lower parts on eBay but I cannot find any of the upper parts or arm rest. Any info would be greatly appreciated thanks
