Where to get GRP bodywork??

The build is flying! I'm looking at fitting the various components to the 99% finished chassis and so will soon be needing the GRP bodywork / panels. There seem to be a few variants our there suitable for a chassis made to the book dimensions but some have a nicer look than others, obviously there is cost and customer service. I've done plenty of research but think it would be a great resource if we could have a few of the current manufacturers listed in one place.

Many thanks

Paul

Depends on your budget. Gilham do cheap seconds but they are pretty ropey. They do body kits but I've heard there's a long wait and it's pretty thin.

Equinox produces only top quality sets, no seconds. Again they are pretty busy and there's a bit of a wait.

Don't really have any experience of anyone else's but they are the 2 main players.

If it was my money I'd go equinox again, they are worth the little extra and it'll last better.
