Ok, so i have got a big choice in panels to use on my van, now is Hadrian panels any good for fitting?

Hadrian are the ones you always see at the shows spread out in the shape of a mini..

personally i wouldn't use hadrian (or any other non genuine panels) unless completely necessary. They might seem the best option but in four or five years you'll be changing them again. Go with genuine wherever possible if you can afford it.

You need to check if they are insurance aproved panels,
If they are they have been tested for fit and corosion resistance and are equal in quality to the original panels (this is not my opinion but as tested by British standards , T.U.V and every one else in europe)
I dont know if hadrian are or not ,
if not it is worth cheching out SSVG .

The only Hadrian panels I've had were bumpers. Had a few different ones to try at various times, but none of them have ever fitted or been even close.

And I agree with Philster, genuine will probably last longer.

Hi, i think they are quite a big company here is their website:

perfect panels

but i really don't like the way they use the heritage louvel thing around their name, this strikes me as dodgey!!

Think i will go with your advice anyways, but i might get some inner wings from them, as i want much much cheapness, as i am going to be chopping them up!

ta for ya help
