Didn't buy a proper panel as such, but recently had very good service from them!

My mate bought a gen ford Saff panel and the fit is shocking

Excellent,really upped their game in recent years.make sure you request Hadrian panels from the factor as I've been duped before and ended up with Chinese shit ones which are fucking abysmal.

i replaced every panel on my frst with hadrian panels and they were a really good fit all lined up nicely, and not very expensive either.

I used hadrian wings, bonnet, slam panel, cross member headlights surrounds etc etc.
All excellent apart from the bonnet, the interior ribs were loose, ie not bonded to the bonnet skin, the guy I used is a crash estimator for NU/aviva, he told me to get/use hadrian in preference to the genuine ones even though they had a open cheque from me so to speak, so wasn't bothered if it cost more for genuine, they just did the work and gave me the bill at the end around Ł2K!!

just had a phone call from hadrian panels if anyones interested,prices for the wings are Ł35 + vat each,slam panels are Ł20 + vat.
im also after both headlights for the 3dr,my question is,are the ghia headlights the same as the rs models as they dont list a headlight for the rs just the ghia.

Although called the ghia headlight, they were fitted to lots more than just the ghias!!
But yes ghia will be with inner spots, ie bigger longer lights as per 3 door, or could go for the base model lights with no inner spots for extra air cooling.

luckily my glass is ok,im only replacing them as when i removed them i noticed some of the plastic threads were stripped,and as im painting around that area i thought i might as well replace them if i can get them.
