Does any one know a distributor or somewhere where new replacement guards can be brought?

Depends on what car you want them for, but my experience with them is that although thay are brand new and the price is cheap, they are crap, the fitment quality isnt that good, and ends up better to go with oem second hand or brand new panels.

Taiwanesee replacment guards?

Postby HachirokuGTV » Thu Feb 08, 2007 8:59 pm

Don't know if you are still looking, but there is a place in Auckland called Brit Euro Car Parts in Station Rd, Wiri. 09 2612388.
A while ago I bought front guards for a ke25. They were pretty terrible. The bolt holes didn't line up and the shape was a little off too.
If you haven't got a choice then use them, but if you can get genuine parts then that would be a far better option.
Hope I was of some help.
Cheers!

Its for a 620 datsun ute

strx7- you have a pm

Cheers for the advice so far, i realise they are of a sub-standard quality but they are a better option for me as a second hand guard is likley to be in similar condition to what iv already got\
