Somora continues to expand its range of certified body panels and bumpers, which provide bodyshops with a combination of excellent value and an assurance of certified quality. 

The range offers first class coverage across many makes and models with all panels and bumpers certified by respected independent third party inspection and certification organisations. These include well known industry names such as Thatcham in UK, TUV in Germany and CZ in Spain.

The certification involves stringent quality testing to ensure that the parts meet clear standards with regard to fitment and material durability. This means that bodyshops, insurance companies, work providers and motoring consumers have clear and independent guidance with regard to their quality and suitability for a particular job. Customers also now have the peace of mind of knowing that all TUV, Thatcham and CZ certified body panels are now galvanised with an advanced zinc coating. This is very similar to the treatment used on the OE panel and ensures the highest levels of corrosion protection.

Cormac Moore of Somora says, "We first introduced this certified range around five years ago and have been gradually expanding it since then. The range has been a major success, as customers recognise the certified quality as well as the clear cost benefits.” He adds, "The certification process has also really pushed all the leading parts manufactures to improve their quality to the certified level and this means a wider choice of alternatives for customers.”

The Somora certified body panels and bumpers range is available from a nationwide network of 400 motor factors. You can see a full product catalogue and VRM look up at www.somora.ie
