Default reproduction steel?

has anyone used any reproduction panels like this?

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Ford-Esco...item35b57acf7c

is that front bit the whole thing that supports the guards and number plate? doesn't look big enough? is this panel all unseen from the front of the car?

edit: something about them just seems dodgy. They could be high quality for all I know.

Default Re: reproduction steel?

seen plenty of them welded onto many cars quite and easy job if you have a modicum of basic weldng and panel beating skills
panel looks fine for what it is and it does secure to the inside edge of the front arches and will have the bonnet slam panel attached across the top. will need a row of spot welds to the inner arches/engine bay panels and chassis rails
Also try
