When mine needed doing(I live too far from Tom) so I bought a cheap gasless mig and made some cardboard templates and made my own,did a bit of welding practice first,then welded them in,with the drain/jacking pad hole,,after a bit of tidying with angle grinder,then a small skim of fine filler,completed job looked good.

It's still cheaper to buy them from Tom, I ordered mine through Ebay on Friday evening and they arrived today via ups.
I intend to fit them myself but I'm sure any garage could fit these as they look well made.
No hammer marks ,the bends are straight and the little end pieces have been welded on , ground down and the panels primed.
I know that I personally don't have the skill to make anything as good as these , and that's with welding up quite a few rusty cars for at least 20 years.
