I went to the cars in the park show at the weekend and I saw an MGTF with elasticated door pockets fitted and wonder nwhere these maybe available?
They are an aftermarket fit but I havent seen them on ebay.

Re: Door pockets for MGF availablity?
Yes - aftermarket. The ones I have were from Newton Commercial - they may still have them. The other elasticated version is available from Mike Satur.
A rigid plastic door "pocket" and drink holder was also available at one stage - no idea whether it still is? It was pretty pricy!
Edit: found this picture of the rigid plastic variety - Peter took it:

Resurrecting this thread.
The rigid ones are very expensive for what they are, I've got a pair of door pockets off my old Golf mk2 Gti which are about the right length, I'm going to experiment and see if I can trim them to fit.
Quite cheap on e- bay

Almost exactly the right depth and length, but will need some trimming around the speaker housing.

Looks possible, a bit long,it overlaps the speaker somewhat, and will need trimming to fit the door curvature, I will take the door-card off this week and report back !

Re: Door pockets for MGF availablity?
Yep Daz....Job done over the weekend.
I had to cut a hole in the door panel to fit the opening box at the front, and the back of the Golf units took a lot of trimming to fit, but they look OK.

Re: Door pockets for MGF availablity?
Thanks Daz.
it really is a quite easy mod,i had to take about 1/2" off the full length of the bottom of the Golf panel, and the trimming of the top of the box bit to the contours of the doorcard takes time, the only downside is that the box bit overlaps the speaker , but I had to do this as otherwise I couldn't open the box with the door closed, as it was up against the side of the seat.
