So what is the final verdict? All pannels need work to fit and you can either get the mk1 repair sections OR go for the Nissan Cherry option which will do the arch and the mudflap area?

Cheery Arches in the above photo look ok, but any close up photos to compair to the original?

Thanks

I can get the Cherry arches (our discovery a lot of years ago) to look like the originals no problem at all, and at £15 per panel for me it's a no-brainer.

Where would I get the cherry arches from for £15? They are on ebay but after postage they are working out at around £30 each. :)

hadrians just quoted me 26.76GBP incl VAT per side on these:

could you possibly have them cheaper Paul?

any opinions on these? bit pricey compared to Cherry ones, but the sills look nice. really considering them...
