the new wing will be 50 suids at the very most but you could easily get 1 for more like 30 if you go to factors counter. then your lookin at about ?150 - ?200 for sprayin an fittin i would have guessed

dont quote me on this i could be wrong



cheers

depends how much its rusting mate, if its not much your local will just sand it down and stuff and put some filler in and smooth it and paint it! may only cost ?100 for all that! but if its bad, u can get different size'd rear arches dont buy the full pannel( that goe's round the back window and stuff) just the arch. a front arch is about ?17 so back should be bout ?20- 25. i dont know if u have a TMS, if u do, go there! its a motor spares shop!

i got mine shot blasted filled and the whole panel resprayed for 250 quid tho i got em to re do the spray 3 times cos it was crap, ten they tried to charge me an extra 50 quid so we went down there and gave em some greif so they gave it us for 250 sprayed properly, fekkin cowboys, just be weary of what bodyshop you go to, the muppets i went to were reccomended to me cos they were a family freind but they were shite!
