in bodywork terms, there\'s cheap and there\'s good.

Someone rammed into my rear quarter panel in a car park and its costing their insurancxe ~£1600 for a new panel.  Involves cutting the old one off, welding new one one, lots of prepping and respray... trouble is, the respray has to go over most of that side and over the roof to blend in properly.

I\'ve seen the JDM back lights often enough on eBay - I\'ve a UK car which has a shorter light unit - your\'s has an extra reflector/bulb bay.  Shame as I think I\'ve got a spare lefty for a UK car.

Sorry I only have spare UK sets as well, worst comes to the worse you can buy both LH and RH and the UK number plate surround.  I will do the whole lot for £80 plus the postage. Lights are the round type and in good condition.
Number plate bit is.......well a surround but again in good condition.
