I have purchased a rear arch repair panel but cant find inner arch repair panel, can these be bought or will it be just a case of making it up myself? Is their a proper repair method? I have a thatcham methods manual and it dosent have it in?

Has any one got any pics of it being done? it would be a great help

Normally people use an outer repair panel on the inside also.

Thanks buddy you are right thou flol

The only reason i didnt use the panel bazil suggested was because i was really impatiant and wanted to get it fixed asap and had the car booked for the bodyshop so used the outer section for the inside repair
