The Facebook page wont open for me at the moment.
I met a guy at the Burley in Wharfedale show last week who came up and stated talking to me.
He makes pastiche doors of all sorts of cars that people hang on their walls in various liveries.
He looked at my car and told me the swage line was too small, and on his door it is about 15-20mm wide and very square. A bit like arches a quattro (small q) or an Integrale. He showed me some photos on his Facebook site but I did not get the name.
I said I didn't think he was correct, but he did say that he had never seen a Stratos of any sort "in the flesh". I have no idea where he gets the dimensions from?
Anyway the argument was settled when a lady in an X/19 close by wandered over with her phone which had photos of some real Stratos cars that she had taken when she drove to the Italian Car Festival in Turin (I think that was it).
I think he was a bit crestfallen and wandered off

It's amazing what you can do with some bits of bent aluminium, a rattle can and some stickers?
No it isn't...

How do you get in? There's no handle

How do you get in? There's no handle

- ah but X19 door handles are at least ?200 each (last time I looked) !!

[ChrisCar6]

I didn't think it looked right! I have a spare door, maybe I should sell it to him.

[Normb666]

Yeah, but it has to be a Stratos door, not the old one from the bedroom. But ya never know.....
