Body repair panels

Post by daveo »

Can anyone give any information on the best body repair panels for t25 2.1 dj flat bed single cab. Looked at Klockerholm justkampers and Alan Schofields but wondered if anyone had any experience of the most suitable. Want reasonable quality not dirt cheap but genuine vw panels I need don't seem to be available and probably not warrented given the present state of the van plus the fact that it is a work vehicle.
Regards
Dave

Welcome to the forum
There are no good reproduction panels, They're all tin foil, and badly fitting.
Unless it's genuine, be prepared to make what you get fit.
For the more obscure panels try VW commercial they may still have some obsolete stock

Or do what I did and find some good quality cut sections, from the various traders here on the forum.

Where are you? There's a breaker in Leicester with a single cab he's cutting up. Think he's on ebay as walford?

I certainly would not bother with AH Schofield panels, production quality is shocking.
Klockerholm panels are pretty good, I can say this from experience.

BBT making some better aftermarket panels priced between the klokerholm and the OE.
Brickwerks had them (now out of stock):

I've bought some rear arches from ebay, cheapest ones I could get.
And have to say they were a real good fit!
no bondo needed, just some smaller mods in the 90° corner in the back..

I'm used to working on vauxhall/opel Kadett C's and the aftermarket parts are rubbish compared to those...

Sorry forgot to mention location is Sheffield. I'm looking for both rear wheel arches, being pickup not full height panel, also possibly front of rear wheel arch lower panels. Managed to sourch a full deck from Volkshaven in Doncaster funnily enough, it came off a 1.7 diesel I sold to them before I purchased present vehicle but their stock of t25 parts getting depleted now. Ive got two Klokkerheim steps to fit also, purchased of ebay.
Thanks for the messages folks.
