Im not really sure what you mean, but just weld it up with some sheet metal?

yeah but i wanted to know whether i could buy a new panel?
you know the wheel arch.. well if you had the wing off and was looking at the car from the front its the part that connects to the chassis rail and right upto the suspension strut..

Think i know what you mean now, i dont think you can get a new panel, just weld a patch over it using a bit of spare metal.

weld in an entire sheet of metal into the inner arch section, primer it give it one coat of paint & THEN underseal it! Dont just bodge loads of underseal on as it'll start to rust again within a year or two lol
