The thing is genuine panels you just can't get, and Ford's spares were not made by Ford anyhow they were shipped in.
Heard same stories about fitment with gen Ford items also..
I know they are not going to be simply place on and weld, i am sure i will need to do alot of tweeking, but this is going to be a project come end of summer with no rush so i will have time to fit them right.
i think even removing the front panel would be good also so as to get a better fit round the front.
Cleveland said they have sold these panels for 2 years with no complaints and i'm suprised as quite a few people don't like them, they also said that each batch is tweeked, this i am unsure about as i worked in press shop a car manufacturing plant,and any kind of tooling alterations were a massive job to do.
