Hi

 

Have started work on a UC to LX hatch conversion and also own a LX sedan and will be in nead of some rust repair sections.

 

Im after

2X front lower radiator support

1x boot rubber chanel i hope its the chanel inbetween lights

And both Left and Right Lower rear quarters behind rear wheels.

 

Had a quick look on Waddingtons website and did not see any of the parts i want (but i will phone them)

 

Has Rares made an improvement to front lower Radiator support so that its usable without neading work as i heard early ones were crap?

I also made the mistake of buying a cheap rear quarter repair from Ebay but was not happy with it and gave it away.

Has anyone got any tips who to go with (if anyone else makes good parts) or any other advice before i buy parts.

Chears Neil. Just asking because dont want to spend good money on bad fitting parts.

The front radiator support has been remade I am sure you will be happy with it.
Check it out with out fitting or damaging it and you can bring it back.

Do you have any pictures of the new one? Or details on what was changed? The picture on the website looks like the old one.

I will organise a new picture but the basic difference is that it is now curved to match the original.

I can confirm the new radiator support fits and is curved to match the original one. Fitted up and welded one in recently with minimal massaging.
