I got very excited when I saw the air intake, but no, left hand only, as per [emoji22]

I have both left and right intakes - are these to bring air to the cabin or ventilate the rear of the engine bay?

And, as I said, they told me in person they could sell to me. I was considering a pair of doors for one of my projects, and there was no minimum order quantity. That was in mid 2018.

I would expect them to have a wholesale 'Trade' pricing structure for authorised stockists, but I very much doubt this 'new'(?) UK-based supplier has much stock sitting on its shelves. I can't see there being much of a market for new (early type) S30-series Z doors in the UK.

They feed (fresh, depending on what's in front of you!) air from ahead of the radiator, through the upper chassis member 'air tubes' under the wings, and into the cabin via ducts which exit under the dash, pointing down into the footwells, with internal flaps. There are black pull-push knobs on driver and passenger sides, under the dash, which control the flap operation via Bowden cables. Pull back to open, push in to close.

Perhaps I might drop them a mail to try and clarify.

Ah very good, I wondered what these were for. This may assist with my fresh air entry to the car to combat the fumes from the rear but obviously will bypass the heater so it may get cold in the winter! Talking of fumes and parts on the new website, I just contacted Nick Battersby on the site as it looked like gaskets for the rear lights were being sold separately - he said he only has enough to go with the lights so they are not currently available separately. In which case why not include them in the price.... I will have to make my own after all...

Thanks very much. Guess nothing in the UK though... I dont have any rear plugs in the deck lid so will start by gaffer taping them up and seeing if this is the entry point before doing the lights.
