The proper way to fit a repair panel is to weld it on, using standard MIG welder, removing all loose rust first from your vehicle.
No extra preparation of the surface is needed, apart from degrease both panel and chassis body.
This process means that steel sections are submerged in a bath of molten zinc and they will last much longer rust-free.
There is no specific answer, but on average it will last 20 years longer rust-free compare to standard primed & painted steel.
Yes — all our panels are designed for both DIY and professional body shop use. They are manufactured to match original vehicle specifications, making them suitable for high‑quality repairs on a wide range of car and van makes.
We stock panels for a wide selection of major car and van brands (including Ford, Vauxhall, Mercedes, Volkswagen) and are continually expanding our range to include more models. If you’re unsure whether a part fits your vehicle, our team can advise before you order.
Outer panels cover the visible surface of the vehicle, while inner panels provide structural support. Full repair panels combine both for extensive rust or collision repair jobs. If you’re unsure which type you need, take pictures and contact us for guidance.
Panels may arrive in raw galvanised steel to maximise corrosion resistance. After fitting, they should be primed and painted using compatible automotive paints for a durable finish.
Minor adjustments (such as slight trimming) can sometimes improve fitment, but significant alterations are not recommended — always contact our team first if a panel doesn’t match your vehicle measurements.
