Sourcing body panels LJ80Q - advice?

Post by Talbot » Fri Oct 24, 2014 11:38 am

I am looking to get hold of some body panels for an LJ80Q but don't know the validity of the only supplier I can find:

http://citroa.com/

Has anybody had dealings with them before?

Furthermore, does anyone have any recommendations for a supplier based in the UK?

Many thanks!

Unfortunately there are no UK suppliers for LJ panels.

Its either citroa, www.extremebends.com (citroa panels) or http://autoblechteile.de/Suzuki/LJ-80:::7_53.html however some of the german panels are not of the best quality from what I have read.

Another option is to keep an eye out on ebay.de as good second hand panels often pop up for sale in Germany

Looked at the website but no prices? Hmm.
If it ticks over...leave it

Hello Talbot,
I didn't think the LJ 80 German floor panels were of very good quality so made a press and made my own floors. German Ebay is a good place to find bits for the LJs , many sellers do not list postage outside of Germany but often will post if you contact them. I have had many bits sent to Cyprus via German DHL and the costs have been very reasonable. A roll cage for 50 euros and a frame for the canvas for 22 euros being the largest bits.

Put some pictures on Suzuki LJ UK Facebook, that will get some comments and other ideas and you will see what others are doing.

Have Fun
