Experience with plastic bodywork panels?

I need to replace both front wings on my defender, which relistically means all six panels; sides, tops and headlight surrounds.
I've seen a few places offering plastic bodywork replacements. Anybody had any experience with them? I'm wondering what they're like to fit, paint and live with. Whether there are any issues with mould tolerance / poor fit, or paint longevity.

At least they wont corrode..

IMO There horrible chap

i had the joys of fitting some to a 90 and i dont think i would want to fit another set

Fit is just all over the show and they just feel/look cheap even after painting

HAd a feeling that might be the case. Was concerned about orangepeel effect on the textured ABS material too. Even if they are tougher, I think I'll still have to go for aluminium.
