We were really dissapointed with ours when we bought it from KER Innovatec,

1/ Very expensive,
2/ Came in two-halfs (inner & outer skins)
3/ arrived with damage to front outer skin, poorly packed, and they didn't want to know when we complained,

4/ had to pay in full in advance so had no comeback.
5/ Loads more work involved than the price would suggest.
6/ was about 5mm short all the way round (BIG panel gaps, most un-Audi-like)

But when you're building a shorty recreation you just have to fit the bonnet with the right look.

No fibreglass panels i've ever seen have been a direct fit, working them is essential.... if you think Ker Innovatec are bad, try new audi panels... I've known factory made panels take 40hours work to fit..

That said I have ker innovatec front wings... they are pretty shocking...

I would second that Jay

Drivers side fitment..... my analysis is the plug wing being bent and so the mould has caused every consequential wing made to have the a pillar tip bent....
