I collected my kit from agm today. Very helpful chap and the quality is really good. Now I just need to find somewhere to keep it and figure out how to fit it...

As soon as it stops raining I will post some pictures,

I also saw a nice red set that was in the process of being polished up which looked really nice.

Are you taking a car or a van. I've got a passat and just managed to get everything in with the seats down and no passengers.

Don't forget to take some old blankets!

Just got back home with mine. Have to say I'm very very pleased with them. . Also Alan is very easy to talk to friendly and helpful. We were talking about how messy glass fibre work is and he mention that "....you get used to it after 30 years". Those 30 years certainly show in his workmanship. The panels all feel very strong yet light, all the edges are cut neatly and finished well, infact he cut out the grills top and bottom on the nose cone while I waited. There's a deep shine to them too, which is nice. Probably my best buying experience to date. Will post pics ASAP.

Looks good, wish my car was at the same point as yours so I could see how they look. My chassis is currently upside down while I sort out the fuel and brake pipes. They are quality panels aren't they!
