S&D stuff is ace as good as you will get for fibreglass stuff, seen lots of capris with S&D items, problem with the wings is they can be hard to line up valance wise, but seeing as you are also goin for a FG one of them you should be fine
I will be spending my money with them in the future for my mk1 build, cologne arches, doors, bonnet, boot, valances etc etc with no worries about fitment

Got a Smith & Deakin bonnet on my mk3. Quality of finish is better than the Fibresports kit I've got but fit is never going to be great with fibreglass panels, wherever you get em.

I got a pair of wings for my old Mazda 1300 from honeybourne, they went through the effort of digging the old moulds from one of their containers as no one had needed them in years, infact it took them 3 weeks to find them they were that buried.
They were cheap, well made, well finished etc
don't expect them to just bolt on though, they leave a good inch of 'glass around all the edges that i needed to trim to fit my car. It didn't take much time or effor to get them looking pretty much factory mind.

Had good experience with Honeybourne as well, must like the others have said.
It does all rely on the original moulds they took to start with though!
