Disclaimer first: Information below is for people comfortable with cutting up things they love.
This mod was performed on my (right hand drive) NB8A and may work on other NB's, not sure, haven't tried it.
It will give the driver extra room for the right leg, which in my case, was sometimes getting slightly wedged between the steering wheel and the door pull. I'm around 6''2' with longish legs and shorter torso. I had already done the foamectomy, a second much more aggressive foamectomy and removed the footrest.
There are some pretty cool door trim mods to gain extra leg room in the NB.
The idea centres around thinning out the relatively plump NB door trims and replacing them with something thinner to give more leg room in between the steering wheel and the door.
I haven't seen anything similar to this yet on the net, so I thought I'd post it up.
Here's a picture of the completed mod, which looks relatively stock from a couple of meters away.
And couple of close ups looking a little lumpy but showing the extra leg room
The idea is pretty simple, just remove the plastic guts from the door pull, leaving the stock anchor point above and below, and then use chain or similar to keep it strong, and house the entire thing with the stock door pull cover.
Things I used:
hot glue
chain
key ring
hacksaw
dremel
repair manual
Remove the door panel. (You MUST do this step to get the door pull off unfortunately no short cut here, follow the instruction in the 1999 repair manual section 09-17-7.)
Remove the door pull from the door panel but unscrewing it, should come off easily.
Started by removing the leather covering from the plastic
Then using a hacksaw I cut wildly
Here are the bits I kept
And a rough placement of where things would go
I made the mistake of cutting the base in 2 portions, if there's ever a next time I would try and keep the bottom part all in a larger more solid piece.
I couldn't find my thin kevlar rope from my kayaking days, and I had some chain handy so I just used that instead.
Stick the chain to the top plastic part.
Then I drilled a hole into the plastic to insert the chain into.
Length and position is important, because I wanted the chain to bear the force when shutting the door, rather than the trim itself.
The reason I did it this was so that I could adjust the length, once the plastic pieces were seated correctly.
Once the length was correct I put a zip tie in one of the chain links, hold the chain in place between the 2 pieces of plastic trim.
The leather cover was then hot glued with the plastic seated in it's original position.
Then it was stuffed with spare 'foamectomy' foam, to roughly maintain its original form.
Here's a pic with foam just in the handle, not in the sump which looks deflated.
And then finally, reinstalled back onto the panel, then into the car.
Things I would do differently next time include:
Keeping the lower bit in one piece - as it is, it warps a little when my leg's pressed into the door.
Maybe stuff a little more foam in to fill the gaps.
Use some kevlar rope instead of chain, no risk of rattling.
Went for a drive immediately after I had finished and I am very happy with the extra clearance now.
Overall it looks not bad for a first try, and definitely a lot better than anything I could come up with using custom trim.

Perhaps it is because I am not elegant nor creative hehe.
