    So is the issue you have a floor and it's not quite right, you have a panel that isn't a floor at all, or what?


    Surely it's a send it back job if it's the latter, and a what do I need to do with it if it's the former?
     
  8. Send it back sure they will refund you easily enough. If they dont have one for it then try Schofields.

    Ah, so the question is, are they all out like your new one, in which case is it worth altering, or do you have a one off...

    How much was the floor , is it a complete or a half? Did you buy the cheap one, £97? I think the correct one is. £250 so there will be a difference in quality

    Klokkerholm by any chance?
     
  13. It was a cheap one but they should at least fit

    It's well known that cheap panels need extra work to get them to fit..try fitting Klokkerholm wheel arches then you know what effort means :lol: we struggled n struggled, hacked things about. Zeus wise words told us to ditch them, we did & the fit was excellent (pity we'd done lots of hacking beforehand)

  16. Have you tried speaking to Heritage?

    I don't get why people don't speak to suppliers when they have a problem before asking a load of people on the internet who can't do anything about it

  20. I can recommend Alan Schofield great on the phone really helpful and the more expensive parts were great, cheaper pattern parts not so good so sent back and upgraded to the more expensive ones, and they fitted really well.
