ltwt1981 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Saturday just have a look at the bluebells love, so we go down Cradle Lane. Nearly to the river its a bit cut up but looks OK. 3 secs later into a drainage pipe and stuck, phone round and eventually get Jon White who says oops, I was stuck there earlier this morning and comes round to winch me out. Must fit a rear winch! Anyway I now need a wing and headlight panel. Best place to buy? Need skin with just a repeater for the indicators in it, front panel and plastic trim bit, indicator and side light. Question, is the front a single panel or is the headlight fitted to a second panel behind, not obvious to me yet. Will get it off this week, do I paint it before fitting, I assume this will be better. And many thanks Jon for thr tug out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsr341 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 the front panel with the head lamp mount is one piece (spot welded together ) and i would paint it off the vehicle , if the wing has not been off before i would get some new bolts and capltive nuts for the bulk head and pop to landrover for some new plastic rivits for the wheel arch spat (usally loose the inner pin when knocking them out ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Nige I would seriously suggest you ask re the prices of GENUINE outers, as the prices are comparable with pattern parts, ........the only real difference being they fit with less swearing Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike4444244 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I'll second that, make sure you get the plastic rivets as you'll never take them alive! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonka Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 i got my wing from ebay. it was about £17 as appose to £150 you can pay for a new one. it only had a couple of scrapes, the paint was about £6 for a small can from land rover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon White Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Just get the hammer out - you'll only dent it again next time out!!!! Lump hammer, 6" brush and a tub of Nato is all you need for landrover bodywork :-) Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, I usually buy outer panels for a tenner a pop and wack em on damn quick. Its not an engine component or something that you risk you live with is it? Panels are the only thing that I go pattern parts because I regard them as consumables. my 2p anyway. Daan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
