    only fitted panels myself,fibre glass wings took friggin ages to get any where near right ! would not go down that route again but money was the issue.
    prep work and paint was done by local garage. planning on lowering 2 inch ,sitting on 8j compomotive ml's , got 2 rims, saving for other two & tyres. its a slow old job !
