door detail

Gauging opinion...

The mk1 mx5 has a styling crease in the door, not sure if the later ones have it.

Two options, fill it to make a smooth door or extend the crease into the wings as grayone did?

My concern about filling the crease is that filler tends to crack out of doors with the shock from slamming the door

What do you think?

Its all about the prep and what filler you use IMO. Strand filler first and topped off with finishing filler. Like I say thats just my opinion, someone might come along with a different/better answer.

The Mk2 doesn't have a door crease but there are some extra flicks and detail at the bottom of the door and into the rear wing which I'm not whether to bash out or not...
