When i got my MK5 from it came with a fibreglass panel kit that has to be cut and made to fit, plus my front shock mounts meant the bonnet had to be majorly reworked. I now hate fibreglass, messy hateful stuff that will slowly poison me! the rear panels i have cut from alloy sheet and i am almost happy with what i've done. In fact i hate fibreglass so much it has put me off ever having a truck!!! Sorry in advance to the truck lovers.

lol yea i not to keen on fibreglass but was thinking it would be easier to make them how ever after looking around on the net for the last few days seems as if you really need to know what you doing before doing fibreglass work

    if you dont eat the stuff it will not kill you, as for ali if you have ever tried to panel beat the stuff back in to shape you will love fiberglass furious

I am a fan of Aluminium and get them powdercoated. My panels are 12 years old now. Easy to keep clean inside an out
