As the Australian winter approaches I'm looking to bite the bullet and have the floors in my Pagoda replaced before things get out of hand.
While we're in there we'll replace the front bumper support, address an old repair on the rear quarter and take a close look at the rear of the front quarter by the a pillar.
All these repair panels seem readily available - but are any members here in a position to comment on one supplier vs another?
Failing that, direct feedback (positive or not) on any of the major suppliers gratefully received.

I've sourced several panels including floor pans from K&K Manufacturing in the US. I've experienced great service and products. www.kkmfg.com Wishing you success with your project.

Oddly, floor pans were never available from MB and I think K&K is the only company that makes them. If you were to buy from others they would very be K&K panels anyway.

There is a very good company in Germany which I use all the time, mind you I am in London.
Log in to sls-hh.dd they have lots of body parts including the complete set of floor panels
They are very reasonable and into the UK there is no tax to pay. E mail Raffaella, perfect English and very helpful

Don't know who actually makes them but I also bought a set of floor panels form SLS. The floor panels are OK, but by no means perfect. Expect some re-bending and tweaking.

That would be K&K. I believe SLS is their main dealer in Europe.

Great, thanks for that clarification.
For those of us in Australia, it often comes down to whichever country has the more prompt and cost effective shipping options. I suspect SLS may be the better for me on this occasion but will report back in due course.

Krzysztof Kulinski, whose page is listed in the Tech Manual as the Warsaw Supplier also sells through SLS, including the follow panels.
In the West US it is Babak who markets Krzysztof's products.

One will find, if they snoop around a bit, that there are far fewer players in this market than you might expect. Unlike late model parts, vintage stuff has a lot smaller profit margins yet the parts are vastly higher in price. It takes very deep pockets to play with the big boys.
