Best quality is the word you are looking for. That used to be VW but they are obsolete

Now I'd say http://www.ahschofield.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

but I'm sure some people have used JustKampers

In my opinion none of them are as good as VW panels and all are much of the same poor quality... poor pressings and thinner gauge

I bought the taller rear arches from Schofields, which are good, though the front arches they also supplied aren't. But to be fair, it seems none -fronts that is- on the market are much cop; very thin metal, poor pressings with poor swages lines that will need a fair bit of dressing to get to look the part.
