Replacement panels.

rustydiver · Jan 20, 2009

Where is the best place to get replacement panels to.

I am needing to do the all of the sills, inner, outer and middle on both sides plus whatever we find lurking there.

Are there much difference between the different suppliers out there.

Ive bought from most of the suppliers now, JK and VW Heritage are good for delivery, AH Schofield delivery was a pain which means nought if there panels are better?????

What are peoples thoughts.

I personally think that any of the complex panels .. ie inner and outer arches, just aren't available as a decent repro ..

I always tended to go with schofields for my panels .. but the last wheel arch i got from there was a far worse fit than a previous one i got from JK .. :?

I think its just luck of the draw sometimes .. but theres one thing for sure ..

you just can't beat cuts ..

I've used JK, Heritage and Schofield's. All much the same except for the customer service at Schofield's

(maybe just my experience, but not one panel has fitted properly)
Using cuts on the rot bus.

Cheers sparkywig, Last lot of panels i had for the front end didnt fit well, was a few yrs ago. These all came from above suppliers.
JK are good on cust service, vw heritage fine but had the same with schofields.
Didnt want to order bits up to be told noooooo they are crap.
