I've always bought from hadrian panels, great prices and they line up well. Plus they had a great selection at the time.

Rob,

as above imperial/ panels took over hadrian after they went tits up, hadrian were by far the next best to gen ford , a lot of the newer generation of copy panels are very poor and dont line up , i knoww this all to well being a panel beater its all luck of the draw when it comes to quality these days.

vey true fella, we found that out the other weekend when my ebay purchase wing came through and you tried to fit it and it was awful, i was gutted, but you learn as you go, panels on ebay look good, look good out the box, look nice in the photos, but line it up on the car and you'll wish you left the old rest panel on instead

Have you tried motomobil and carparts express, also Fordpartsuk are really good for locating stuff. Always try and get genuine before you compromise for pattern parts.
