As per the title, where do you go for your pattern parts?

My outers on both side have been repaired badly by someone who doesnt deserve to own a welder...

I got a set from www.nicedeals.co.uk can't remember the price right now but they did seem to be good quality.
if it's got t*ts or wheels it's bound to be trouble...............prove me wrong.
getting oral sex off an ugly person is like rock climbing.....don't look down ;)

£15.23

Seems cheap, I need one so might be worth getting at that price.

Skins?!! If you're going to do a job, then do it properly. Skins are for Fords and other such sh*te.

If nice deals haven't got any in stock then try www.carz2.co.uk a mate got two new full outer sills & a new wing & it cost him £130 all in, they came yesterday & they look to be pretty good quality for the price.

got to worth a try,

I got mine from a company called allparts. It is a southwest company though I think, so depending on where you live could be a problem.
