Might have a punt with the tailgate and see how it goes, I know they are different sellers but both have decent feedback and looking at the english feedback replies, seem to pack them well. See what comes of this thread and order it tomorrow

You could always ask the seller a question, most Europeans speak English or know someone who does. but looks like it's worth a punt. I'd def be interested as not only are they lighter but they also dont rust, YAY! :grin:

Will watch with interest.

I got lil fibreglass skirts on mine and they chip to feck, they were sprayed about two months ago and already needing a lick. Cant imagine other pannels ending up much better

Bootlid should be fine for stonechips I reckon, and the doors not to bad compared to a sideskirt. For my trackcar anyway tbh buddy

Have a mate with a brother who lives in Germany and is supposedly driving over in March, so will send the bootlid to him, fingers crossed (less distance less damage hopefully lol) If so can report back on the quality. Will update in a month or so  :smiley:

Sounds like a plan, hope it works out good, I reckon with a decent paint that they shouldn't be too bad at all... Fingers crossed.
