W124 Replacement Body Panels

[Griffo]

I've placed this thread on the technical forum by mistake, so apologies to those that may have already seen it there.....

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/ecommerc...ch_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).

It is said with most of these panels that a little longer time is needed when fitting, I think that the guage metal is the same, many traders use these panels.

I think these panels are not galvanised, but, if you treat them before you fit them to the car, it is bound to work out a lot cheaper.

It was suggested to me that you get them painted before you fit them.
