Replacement Body Panels

I need to replace the bottom section of the panel directly in front of the rear right hand wheel arch. You can get this section of the panel from JK, Alan Schofield or VWHeritage. Simple question, who makes the best panels or are they all much the same? Thanks.

Hi Shaun, The one on JK appears to have flanges (see link) or is this identical to the Alan Schofield one?

Schofields looks the same as JK, no flanges. I mean flanges to weld to the rest of the panel
However I cannot recall JK supplying Schofields as a lot of people complain about JK panels being rippled tin foil crap whereas nobody really complains about Schofields quality

the thing I like about schofields is you can see before you buy which is ok when your within hitting distance of glossop

Just used panels from JK to do the same area in front of wheel arch. Panels were 1st class and flanges fitted fi
No problems at all and same thickness & quality as Schofields a bit cheaper & postage too.
I have used both suppliers & have had no problems with either.
So I'm no help other than to say both have their merits and have good customer support
