Is it just me or have their prices gone up? 3dr hatch repair panels used to be £12 a side and they now want £19.80ish plus vat :eek:

mail order panels fail on 2 counts..

1. cost of carriage
2. damage

i worked at a place that did mail order cab glass for tractors amongst many other products.

in boxes they were always smashed

in the end we actually removed all of the packaging & sent the glass bare.. cos it always got there...

last year i sent some bare car panels by courier & they arrived ok...

Yes
They take a bit of fettling with but you can get there eventually,i would personally get a pair even if i just needed one.

Cheers for that Andy

Think I might get a pair, which bit needed the most fettling ? I'm guessing where the wing bolts to the car behind the kick panels to stop the wing sticking out so far ?
