Pre-painted car body panels by mail order

Painted Car Panels is a British mail order shop specialising in pre-painted car body panels. It presents itself as the only independent supplier of this type of product on the internet and operates as a sister site of CarPartsExpress.co.uk, forming part of Car Parts Express (NE) Limited. Its catalogue is organised into four main product families: wings and quarter panels, wing mirrors and accessories, bumpers and rubbing strips, and painted bonnets.

Catalogue of panels and parts

The range covers exterior body components for a wide list of makes and models. Examples shown by the shop include a painted front bumper for Alfa Romeo 147 (2005-2010) in Grigio Stromboli, a wing mirror cover for Renault Twingo (2012-2014) in any colour, a mirror cover for Peugeot 107 (2005-2014) painted in Plum KPH, a front wing for Skoda Roomster (2006-2010) in any colour, front wings for Renault Clio of the 2001-2005 and 2005-2013 generations, a front wing for Peugeot 206 (1998-2009) with colour code ETS and a front wing for Ford Mondeo of the MK3 and MK4 series.

The catalogue covers makes such as Alfa Romeo, Audi, BMW, Chevrolet, Citroën, Dacia, Daewoo, Fiat, Ford, Honda, Hyundai, Iveco, Kia, MAN, Mazda, Mercedes, Mini, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Peugeot, Range Rover, Renault, Seat, Skoda, Suzuki, Toyota, Vauxhall and Volkswagen, among others. The shop stated that it adds new products daily and that the panels are insurance approved.

Colour painting service

The differentiating factor of the business is the supply of parts already painted. Several products in the catalogue are offered in any colour or with a specific paint code, allowing the panel to be received ready to fit without going through a paint shop. The prices shown by the shop included VAT, with no hidden charges, and the site included a policy of matching or beating any cheaper quote found from another supplier.

Customer service and special orders

The company maintains a parts hotline to handle enquiries and locate parts not listed in the catalogue. It also accepts part requests through a contact form, with a commitment to respond within 24 hours, and recommends providing a telephone number with the enquiry. The site includes information sections on delivery, returns, terms of sale and privacy policy.

Customer rating

The website itself showed a rating of 4.8 out of 5 on FreeIndex, a UK review platform.
