Andy's parts have been repeatedly described as "top notch", "highest quality", "brilliant", "perfect", etc, by forum members. My expectations were mostly set by this feedback.

Alga, I think if thats the sort of quality you are looking for maybe you should be investing 20,000 plus in a Caterham ?
As a matter of fact, I'm not. Trim, finish and detailing is not my forte, that's one of the reasons why I abandoned the efforts of making my own GRP bodywork, and paid money to people who are supposed to be good at it.
I would be fully satisfied with any reasonable job. Problem is, 8 months later I'm still stuck with panels that "do look crap" by Nathan's own admission.
