W208 CLK - Replacement Panels

[MercHand]

I've have been wondering what you all think about buying replacement body panels for my rusty W208.

I called Dronsfields and they have said that they are selling wings for £75, rear quarters for £150, Bootlids and Doors for £75 each, too.

Are replacement panels a better way to go than rust repair?

Make sure the panels are not rusty that you are buying.

I had my front wings replaced last year cost about £1000 with the spraying, they did the rear arches and doors aswell, now looks excellent and hopefully i won't have to worry about the rust returning for a few years anyway.

Note the early cars had the indicator repeaters in the wings then moved to the door mirrors so make sure you get the right panels.

Where is the best place to get new replacement panels for a w208 convertible. And are the rear and front wings the same as the coupe.
Thanks in advance
