Guys - appreciate your thoughts on this.
I finally received the various panels I ordered from the Warsaw based supplier in the supplier list. There was a series of delays unfortunately including a fire to one of their buildings. Full credit to the proprietor, Krzysztof, who still honoured his commitment and sent the parts. (I hope his insurance company treats him well).
The parts appear fine, however, the front cross members (2 parts circled in the diagram) are clearly of thinner material than the original. I didn't measure the difference but we are probably talking about 1mm difference In thickness. This has my the guy doing my body/panel work concerned as he believes this is quite important for the structural integrity of the car.
I notice SLS are selling them in 3 different material thicknesses including what appears to be the original 1.3mm thick cross front member for EU107 (less tax + delivery). So both parts will cost me about EU150 in total (not too bothered about delivery cost as I am always buying parts from SLS.). N.B: SLS sell the front cross member in 1.2mm, 1.3mm and 1.4mm thicknesses - with the 1.3mm stated as original. I'm fairly certain I have the 1.2mm thickness.
I'm interested in the opinion of the members - Do you think it is worth repurchasing the correct / thicker material cross members from SLS, or do you feel my panel guy is being too conservative? ( he will install the parts I have if I insist).
Thanks in advance
Rob
