[Roydini]

Evening all

Anyone had experience/opinions with Gunzl panels? Are they any good?

Cheers!

[Roydini]

ok, let me re-phrase. Anyone had experience with the panels that Gunzl sells? Are they any good?

[Plasticman]

see my post above
what panels and whos make are the specific items as many panels are made by different companies including vw, so there is no hard fast answer.
im not being obtuse ,you have a list of items, post it up and we can assist more

and two of these, one for each side:

I can't tell who the manufacturer is so was wondering if anyone had bought panels from Gunzl before and had any anecdotal experience of what they're like.

I think they are all the Klokkerholm ones.

I think they are all the Klokkerholm ones.

and that's bad right?

[Plasticman]

aye they be klockers, and not that bad, at least the panels you show are ok , the rear lowers are all much the same, the rear tall arches have poor definition and will need tweaking, no big deal ,they all have a delve at the top right (from manufacture),the over sills i dont ever use but the work so to speak. the slider repair panel is useable, and gunzl are good to deal with

Thanks for the advice MM. I don't have the skills or equipment to do the bodywork myself but I'm trying to suss out where I can get the good quality panels from to give to the resto garage. I know Schofields are highly regarded but I was curious about the Gunzl ones as I'll be putting in an order from them soon anyway. Do you make your own MM, or do you have a reliable supplier?

[Plasticman]

i make some but for what your doing then those are fine, the big issues come with the pattern cheapo front arches and upper front panals thast are curved the wrong way but lets not get into that
if your in euroland and the firm doing the work are there then use gunzl, again a lot of it is in the packing and some firms pack better that others, to my mind jk are the worst in my personal experience as ive sent so much back there that i dont bother anymore and leave them to supply cheap bling.......
