W124 Replacement Body Panels

[Griffo]

My '95 E280 is showing it's age (like the owner!) and the o/s/f wing needs replacing (possibly the o/s/r door skin also). I have looked at this site:-

http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecommerce/Search_Results.asp

and their alternative make 'Eurofil' is only £25.50?? I realise it won't have the same guage metal as a genuine replacement panel but does anyone have any experience of these people/parts?

I would appreciate opinions and alternative suggestions for sources please? I live in Herefordshire but can access Birmingham from my office (Worcester) in just over 1/2 an hour (if that's relevant).

Thanks for the reply. I'm not too bothered about the guage of the metal (within reason), as long as the shape/fit is good. Surely good rust proofing inside and good painting outside should take care of longevity?

Just realised this should have been posted on the bodywork forum Doh! I'll put it there as well.
