Mine's a bit crispy ducked. And I don't really want to pay Rimmers £90 for one. All the other usual suspects didn't have one. :(

Guess I had better suck it up and pay Rimmers in that case. Oh well, they've got a 14.89% off offer on at the moment (equivalent to the VAT) which makes it hurt a bit less...

Dave, I'm taking the angle grinder to the scrap shell this weekend...is a s/h one any good to you if its sound? Most of the structure of the car is good, its just the outer panels that are all knackered...

I have a suspicion the Rimmer panels are remanufactured, whilst I wouldn't mind seeing one I'd not want you to spend 90 quid!

Did you try Mick Dolphin?

A good S/h one would be fine. I tried Mick Dolphin, Quiller's, and Fitchetts as well, nobody had one.

Rimmers do list two panels, one remanufactured (which is a bit cheaper), and I guess a NOS one too.

Both of mine came from Rimmers, both remanufactured items, I think they're from the stock of Sprintspares who had them re manufactured.

Good fit though.

Dave, I have a pair if you still need them. One is a genuine, one is pattern but I can't remember which side is which! I'll have a look.
What's the going rate these days?
