Repair panels... Who would you rate....

[thru_a_lupe]

Having just had the bus up on the ramp for its MOT... Although it passed there are quite a few areas that now after 10 years need a bit of attention!!!

So when thinking about repair panels what makes would you use and what panels would you steer clear of?!?

I know most of you are probably gonna suggest original cuts... And anywhere possible (read affordable!!!) I will try to source... but let's face it... Cuts are lots of money!!!!

Cheers!! :mrgreen:

It doesn't seem to be a popular place on here but the Just Kampers panels they they are getting made for them in UK have been great for me. In particular the sliding door middle sill was great quality, as was the sliding door repair panel. Anything I've had that Klokker whatsit make has been total *****. I also had a front bulge from Klassicfab, that was very nice too but I don't think they do much for Bays.

Avoid Kleft and Klog (or however they call themselves) absolutely dreadful.

Cheers guys... Been looking around and Jo seem to do some uk panels and also some of these klokkerholm panels...
Might give Scott Wilson a shout as he's quite local and sounds like he has a good stash....

I bought funky green panels and they fitted very well. Klokkerholm i Danish and I come from Denmark. I would not buy those.

+1 for the UK JK panels.
The Schofield outer o/s sill repair is good as well.
Cuts may seem more expensive Jon, but they do save labour time.

if you need to replace the lower inner front valance then uve had it :lol: ,got mine from cool air but as far as i know there is only one supplier for this part so they all buy from them .all i can say is they are **** and its never gunna fit unless i cut it :shock: so think i will be buying a cut

God yes, that panel is so **** it's untrue.
I generally use schofield panels, their sills are good (middle sill needs a tiny trim where it fits into the inner, but only takes a moment with a plasma disc) window repair sections have all been fine, cab floors were decent etc.
