FOXMOTH - I agree totally. The big picture is important. However, simple items placarded U/S for months or no perceived action is a turn off. Good observation though.

BIGENDBOB - Unfortunately a complete set of panels will set you back financially a LONG way. The alternative is to repair or make your own. If you dissolve some panel scraps in MEK and use it as glue, then you can stick the panels back together. Some silver tape on the inside for strength and spray paint outside completes the look. If you need to mould a missing part, the plastic that they use is available in sheets and mouldable with a heat gun on low heat. Hope this helps. P.S. interior mouldings come under pilot maintenance in New Zealand (CAR Part 43, appendix G)
