JK should not do panels, they are cr@p. At least the door skin lower part I got was. I have fitted it but had to do a lot of reshaping!!! Trouble is I was doing it for a neighbour so felt even more obliged to get a good result. Luckily I got a good finish, just need to paint it now! I would have been better off just plating it! it was the drivers side on a RHD Devon.
Probably been said before but there is a lot of sense in paying a bit extra for a decent part, but how can you tell?

step repair sections are as bad

In my opinion, and from my experience, none are that good, apart from the genuine panels from VW, they are however more expensive but worth it in my opinion, took 2/3 sets of rear wheel arches back before going to vindis! 60 quid as opposed to £23! but worth every penny if you ask me as it would have been a bodge whichever way I would have fitted it, and ots of filler!

Yeah, we had same replacement door panel from JK and it was absolutely crap and the fit is all buckled because of the crap quality.

I was told to go to Scholfield, for better quality. Boll0cks! They're the same as JK as far as I could see. They're all made from 1mm while VW is at least 1.5mm.

Got one rear arch still to do. Still weighing up where to go.
