Hi all , looking for a bit of advice on buying body panels (wings etc) , is it still possible to get new genuine parts or what is the best quality new panels . Thanks

Hi Alan,

A very warm welcome on this forum! The best quality panels are original renault panels, but those are hard to find. Most of the newer offerings are aftermarket and may not fit very well. So if it is possible to save your originals, do it!

I had no problems fitting the rear side body panels, the front ones were a bit difficult to line out correctly.

Good luck!

Many thanks "Jurjenz"
what supplier of body panel would you recommend ? its a mine field to know the best , the language barrier doesn't help either .

Dear Alan,

I have some GTL doors. Is it a GTL? I'm in Dublin

Kind regards

Hi Richard
i may require a passenger door , mine is a tl , but i think its the trim that different . how much ? i am looking for a rear left lower wing too and passenger seat

Hi Alan
I don’t think my doors will be of much use as they are for a GTL and they have the pins welded to the metal for the plastic trim.
