I tried a pattern wing... what a pile of crap. I offered up a genuine one and it dropped on a treat. I did however use pattern A-panels and door skins and they were fine |

The differences are subtle but worth every penny of the price on the genuine skins, IMHO. That is not just me saying that but the chap thats working on mine at the moment was absolutely amazed in how well the genuine skins fitted over the non genuine On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:

We've used at pattern front panel on a car, original wings, fitted absolutely perfectly, not a tiny bit of fettling needed!

 The subtle difference in some cases is all in the weight, which is either a good or a bad thing depending on the perspective

You can tell the difference in quality of the panels material wise, theres no doubting that. I can tell the difference between my own panels yet to be fitted to my own car, and a Heritage top dash rail is thicker than the original, but still fits perfectly. On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:

I also had a new front slam panel fitted (as in the picture above) which I obtained from Magnum and it seemed to fit quite well.
