Post by Bazboy » 10 Nov 2008 03:15 pm

Dunno if this is a repost or if its of any help to you guys, but was recommended this company by a friend and they do quite a few body panels for the 300's and there prices dont seem to bad either.

That's interesting, their part numbers are the same as Hadrian Body Panels:

It's good that they list the prices, Hadrian don't ;-)

I think they are very good!! quite impressed that sills and door skins are available.

The most recent price I could find for Mk1 wings was from a place in Denmark who wanted £130 each.....these guys have them for £60 :)
Enjoy your 300s

I had a look at sills, and those prices are about a third of the prices listed for those parts by a website in Germany ...

Yeah generally cheaper than what's available locally (Motonet)... and even they may not carry all listed parts anymore, as I've noticed on a couple occasions. :x

Annoyingly they seem to list the rear valance, but not the front which i need!

Surely the front is more liable to be damaged from stone chips and the like? Odd.

By the way if anyone has a rear number plate panel up for grabs PM me please :D
