panel gaps ?

The original panel cost me just under £400 delivered ...thats direct from garage vary

these are 1:1 100% copies of the garage vary units, so will have the same fitment as the original which in fairness isnt bad - not perfect but its 90% there

dont forget - on the bit round the outside of where the old lights meet the rear quarter panel there is meant to be double side adhesive tape to hold the panel in....on those test fit pics tthe panel wasnt stuck down on these areas.

I had thought about modifying the panel to fit MY car perfectly but then it would only be perfect for my car.
The age of these cars now , repairs etc and manufacturing tolerances / arch repairs / accident repairs there is noone going to offer a panel thats a guaranteed perfect fit. Yes a little fettling may be needed but at this price i dont think anyone can grumble too much.Thats why i decided to do a 1:1 100% copy. If i had the panel perfect i would have to charge more but it still would only be perfect for my car...you understand ?

read this thread on clubroadster sean http://clubroadster.net/vb_forum/showth ... ost1320479
also there are more threads on clubroadster mazdaroadster and miata.net about these panels , also search on google images for garage vary nostalgic.

here are tim allens fitting pictures

i think the point im trying to make is the fit of the panel will ultimately come down to the person fitting it and how perfect they want it.
