Ex-Pressed Steel Panels

Classic car body panels made to order in West Yorkshire

Ex-Pressed Steel Panels is a British specialist manufacturer of replacement body panels for classic cars. Its catalogue concentrates on parts that are no longer produced or are otherwise difficult to obtain, covering many makes built from the 1950s onward. The company states that it produces these panels to order using its own manufacturing process and finishes them by hand.

The firm presents itself as having more than 50 years of experience and a background in car restoration, and frames its output around the idea of returning a vehicle to how it looked when it left the showroom. Panels are offered in steel and aluminium.

Coverage across more than 60 models

The site states that over 60 models are covered. The range is organised by manufacturer and model, and for many vehicles it lists several distinct panel types rather than a single item. Recurring categories include body sides, engine compartments and floors, which indicates that the catalogue extends beyond outer skin panels into structural and inner sections.
