Here's the only pics I took when I did mine
Use a heritage panel as the non genuines ones just do not fit as the folds are not in the correct place

Defo go for a heritage panel. When I did mine I had to cut the curves and reshape them to meet the B pillar. It just took a lot of time and then filling and sanding to get them looking decent.

I would ask members to read what the OP actually wants which is pictures, nothing else. Thread has now been cleaned up to reflect this.

Thanks Rod, I will definitely use heritage panel, this is is why I asked for pictures as the heritage panel extends quite far upwards up the A pillar and wanted to see how much of this end people used.  I will certainly be cutting some of the A pillar part of the step off.
