What are these Westfield panels?
Can someone help identify what these panels are? They came as part of my aluminium panels set (powder coated)
Manual says these are "rear closing panels" and are fitted after the bodywork, however I have scoured the rest of the manual and it
doesn't actually say where they go or what they are for
There's no reference to these anywhere in the manual!

Would have thought your first call would to ask Westfield.
Tell them about the bent treacle edges!

By the looks of them as Ross says small ones are for closeing of the gap between the tub and the chassis in the engine bay other two for under the
rear arches.

Yep, I had those left over too 10 years ago! I believe, as said, they are for closing the voids between body and chassis.

As has been said, they're for closing the gaps between the grp tub and the outer aluminium cladding on the chassis. Weirdly, they're in
some generations of manual, but not others.
The top ones fit on the sides of the chassis just in front of the rear wheel arches; they need bending slightly first - that's why the tab that
rivets to the aluminium cladding on the chassis has a gap IYSWIM. The hook shaped part hooks over the round chassis tube. (I'll see if I can
find some photos or pics. It's sort of obvious once you bend them and hold them in place.
The other smaller panels are easier, they go on inside the engine bay, they just rivet on to the front footwell end chassis tubes, with the curved
edges fitting into the bodywork.
I don't think I actually got the front panels with my kit, just the rears. I ended up borrowing a tip from the old Race series and filled the
gaps between the grp sides and aly. With expanding builders foam.
