Replacement Fenders

I'm going to get two new fenders. The price difference between MSA & Victoria British is $100 per fender.

Anyone had any experience with these parts? Is one really any better than the other? $100 better?

Thanks, Tim

straight fenders

Read the fine print on both. Then take your car to a better than average body shop.

I've got both catalogs and I give up, could you be a little less cryptic?

theyre probly going to get beat to hell in shipping, and they may well have been beat to hell just getting to california. make sure you want these fenders.. check ebay, you see them there fairly frequently.

In Victoria British catalog page 3 - "made overseas"- "will most likely have a few scratches or small dents"
A good body shop can fix a pretty rough front clip for less than you would pay for two Chinese fenders with shipping. $450
As for MSA, I would call them and ask if their fenders are JDM or top quality. Then you have to decide if you want to spend $650.
Body shop here I come!

I recomend as was stated before, take the fenders you have to the best real body shop in town. Find a real body shop that does custom cars. Most average shops are really pannel replacers or they just slap on bondo. A real shop will have craftpersons that are used to working the metal and will do a good job .

I got two new fenders from this place http://www.myautobodyparts.com/produ...27&browse=true
$107.09 each. I think they are the same one's you would get from Victoria British or MSA. Since I live in Southern California I was able to pick them up for free, and check them out before I paid. They aren't banged up, and they fit good.
