JUST BE HONEST WITH A COSTUMER!

Pisses me off the way companies list parts that are in stock!! then you complete the payment for them to ring two days later and say they havent got them and issue a refund!! Dam middle men pretending to be bigger than they are!! Pisses me off!!!
Rant over anyway as you guessed cant get replacement 5 door panels anywhere so any help guys would be appreciated!

rubber down cut out rust weld patch ize paint wham bam thank you maam!!

Try midwest motor factors 01902-353515 they sell them for about £20 but not sure if the will send to ireland.
If they have them in stock I could be pushed to pick them up for you and get them deliverd at your cost

I got mine from here http://www.carz2.co.uk/nissan-sunny-april-c-315_320.html

Thanks guys just in from work will try both numbers in the morning but i expect will get the same answer. there seems to be two main suppliers that get the panels in and everyone else sources them from and as i have found out dont seem to be any left in the country

mines held for 2-3years now

If its done properly i dont see any reason why it wouldnt be as good as a replacement part although other than it might go in another area but ive seen even new cars with rusty patches appearing just goes to show the quality of metals from oe manafactures are poor and will always be a constant fight to hold back

A lot of manufacturers only zink coat one side of the steel nower days, some don't at all.
Plus if pannels come out of the press with defects, when the guys rework them, they don't get sprayed with a zink coating to replace the zink that's been rubbed off, they just add a layer of primer.
So I guess the life of the metal has been reduced by that.?

Yea think a lot of OE manufacturers are under pressure from the government where they have to use a percentage of recycled materials or pay a fine. A lot of them are using recycled metal in the materials of their panels hence they rust faster. Stupid but true

Well guys quick update doesn't seem to be any companies that have these panels in the country heres who all have been contacted with the same answer!! at least 2-3 weeks. If any one else has a contact im willing to try anything at this point. cars in the shop waiting on these. What would the wait be on getting them from nissan direct??
