Easiest way to sort that then is either use corsa plastic inner wing guards or take the wings off weld new metal in and shave it till the wing fits good.

Will Corsa wing guards fit (with modification) with a splash guard in place? would prefer to have plastic arch guards, will save me coating mine in Hammerite every other month to keep them looking clean.
Corsa shÃ*t gaurds are only plastic so dead easy to work with, just chop them about to fit. Bit of a pain to remove from a Corsa mind, but other then that dead simple task with minimal tools.

Never seen a repair panel for this, you must have access to someones Nova to get some templates though.

You could just put a wing on temporarily and make up a template that fits in the gap.
