fixing new door cards

Hey folks,
dunno if anyone has done this before - may be a useful tip for the DIY challenged amongst us!
Fitting door cards I made myself.....but the ones that came off are perfectly serviceable (in good nick in fact) so will go upwards to the loft. So, how to fit new. Haven't got the clippy things....so nipped to wilkos, grabbed some of their cheap rawl plugs (need the plaster board ones with a decent lip. Got the pack with three sizes in as sods law dictates I will buy the wrong size!! Bunged the rawl plugs in the holes where the clips go....and bang on! I can now screw my door cards on an off without having to drill more holes in the van!
to Mark your holes, just lay the old door card on the new, and mark with a pencil!
