GBCS 0 Posted May 8, 2018 I emailed Ex-Pressed steel panels recently to ask if they were working on any 205 panels, or if they had any plans for them. http://www.steelpanels.co.uk I got an email back this morning from Mike McColgan the MD, and the response was encouraging. They are working on a boot floor panel now, and that will be ready in the next 6 months. He has identified the 205 as a car that they want to do more panels for, but here is the problem. To produce a replica panel, he needs a NOS version of the panel to work from, unfortunately the panel in question will be destroyed in the process. Mike will buy the panel in the first instance, so who has what stashed away that could be sacrificed for the common good ? It would be nice to see GTi rear quarter panels available again. Has anyone got any NOS panel work? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leslie green 110 Posted May 8, 2018 (edited) I don't think anybody will pay their prices tbh , they are in the process of making wings for the mk1 fiesta and the price is £650 each !!!!!!!!!!!!!! They won't sell many ......... The 205 boot floor is quite simple though in comparison so could be affordable . Edited May 8, 2018 by Leslie green Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GBCS 0 Posted May 8, 2018 At this stage it would just be nice to have the option, market forces will dictate if the price is right. With nice cars easily breaking through £10K, it would be a shame to write one off because something as simple as a quarter panel was unavailable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,657 Posted May 8, 2018 they have been unavailable for a very long time already! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GBCS 0 Posted May 8, 2018 Isn't that the point, they have been unavailable for years. If any company is prepared to remanufacture NFP parts to a decent standard, we should be supporting those efforts wherever possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leslie green 110 Posted May 8, 2018 For a car that was so popular there are surprisingly few genuine panels that come up for sale on the bay I've noticed . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Fenton 1,542 Posted May 8, 2018 Do you not think that’s largely as they don’t rot appreciably? Popular 80’s Fords you can virtually make a shell out of repair panels as everything rots. 205 what is there a need for? Lower rear quarter repair up to the body kit would be useful. Sills you can buy. Wings are available albeit generally not a good fit. Front end panels are available Mickey Mouse. Only one I can see getting short supply is the rear panels for repair after a bump. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nomis 12 Posted May 14, 2018 Hi Farmer, I am trying to track down a front lower spoiler and grill (bit that sits below the front bumper) in black I don't suppose that you have one of those do you that you might be willing to sell, please? Thanks Simon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DamirGTI 342 Posted May 15, 2018 Seen few front GTI valiances on stock from where i buy spares .. but aftermarket ones of course , "Polcar" and "Klokkerholm" brand @ roughly 60 quid .. never bought one so dunno if the shape and fitment is "right" .

farmer 328 1 Cars Posted May 15, 2018 I bought one to look at The grille wouldn't fit Was about 5 cm short in the recess Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DamirGTI 342 Posted May 15, 2018 I see .. typically for aftermarket body parts . Tried any front/rear bumpers of the said "Polcar" and "Klokkerholm" brands ? ... for the Polish "Polcar" i know that they have a few class of spare parts , Danish "Klokkerholm" seems a little bit better quality as far as aftermarket can be , at least metal body panels with which i've been working . Bought some Italian made "Prasco" bumpers two years ago and failed !! thickness is no where near as the OE and on the sides they're too short , had to bend them like banana to be able to fit them .. and yes , looks a bit like crap which it is .
