Any aftermarket panel will fit poorly...be better to get a good used panel and spray it imo. Guessing you're replacing rusty wings if its a VW lol?

Bodyshop next door to work often orders panels from euros, but 1 in 3 get sent back because they're a poor enough fit that it's not worth even trying.

Probably due to the insulation blocks between the inner/ outer wing that get saturated & rot the wings from inside out !

Give SVA a ring. I got my old bumper from them and it couldnt of been better. The body shop who sprayed it for me used them for everything and said even higher quality cars with more precise panel gaps, their panels were spot on for.
