Rear Arch Panels

[Wee_Watsi]

Both my rear arches are nearly rotted right through and I have seen in total vauxhall advertisements of companies that sell rear arch panels although they arent on the websites that are quoted (maybe they havent updated them or sumethin). any links to any sites that sell them?


neway i was just wonderin what you get when u buy one of these, as in how much of the panel u receive. also how do you attach these to ur car?

Cheers

as for what you get......the full arch and the bit that goes under the rear bumper....


and for attaching them you cut the old arch out (or weld over the top..i did this and had no problems) then skim over wil filler.....sand and paint!

simple

Hope this helps Karl

Bodyshops usually charge around ?150 per side.
But the price will depend on the bodyshop.

i payed ?500 for two new front,rear wings, sills fitted and then spraying both sides, and then bumpers, including panels and materials.bonnet and boot still need spraying but i'll wait till after winter.

Aye, well they'd need to. By the way, its worth spending the few extra quid to get it done, that way it'll be done right. What part of NI you in mate? Might know a few places.

From Co Down, a few miles outside Belfast. Its goin away to get resprayed after christmas but my old man is a fibreglass technician, i was just wonderin what my options were when it came to the arches, fibreglass the originals or get new ones fitted??

Any comments welcom.
Cheers,

Unless youre old man can fabricate a set of rear arches?
