A method of assembling a vehicle is disclosed, comprising the steps of (in sequence) providing a chassis structure, affixing a door inner panel to the chassis structure via a hinged attachment, at a location adjacent to a door opening defined by the chassis structure, attaching at least one external body panel to the chassis structure, attaching a door outer panel to the door inner panel via an adhesive fixing. In this way, the door inner panel can be attached in place during the build, at a position tailored to the needs of the seals provided between the door and the chassis structure. Production of the vehicle can continue, and in due course the exterior body panels can be fitted to the chassis structure. The door outer panel can then be attached to the door inner panel, using the tolerance in the adhesive attachment to adjust for panel gap and flushness of fit. The application also relates to a vehicle made in this way.
