All

About to start work on my other car and looking at replacing body panels. How do the replacement guards really fit? Looking at nose cone, guards, sills etc

Out of curiosity how far is sitting out too far?

 

If you are talking in terms of only a few millimetres then a block of wood and a mallet will massage the panels into alignment.

Are you talking about the Rares Guards? Im finishing repairs to the A pilar and that inner panel doesn't seem to fit right at the top.
