Will this be easy to fix, I can weld but wondered if i should just buy new panels as the rust is quite bad. What do you think? Are repair panels made? Its underneath the bumper directly under the indicator on both sides -

just buy new wings, & get a wire brush for an angle grinder & some good goggles to clean up the front panel to assess the rot
