Alrite, just wondering what you guys reckon, need to get 2 x new outer sills & 2 x rear 1/4 panels is it worth getting genuine Vx parts or will pattern parts be just as good ?
Already got 2 x genuine Vx front wings cos pattern part wings never seem to line up !! will i have the same prob with the rear 1/4 panels & sills ?
Anyone know rough prices for both Vx parts & pattern parts ?

Cheers, Rich

Your gonna have to check with Vauxhall classic part specialists. You'll be lucky if you can source ex-GM stock! Total Vauxhall magazine offers some replacement panels. Try there first.

Oh well, if they don't sell em anymore then i can't have em !!
Are pattern part 1/4 panels & sills usually a good fit ?
Also its a mk1 shell but its having a mk2 face lift, was thinking of getting the 1/4 panels for a mk2 so the bumper mounts are in the right place, should fit ok ? take it the bumper mounts are the only differences ?
