As above, both rear arches starting to go, one is particularly bad. Took the car to the bodyshop today and was told to try and get a some new rear arches.
Anyone know where I could source some?, would a breakers cut them out to size or can you get a "kit" so to speak?
Cheers

If your outers are gone id put money on it your inners are shot too, or at least near the lip.
Outers are available as pattern parts but inners are BMW only @ just over £100 a side.

Yup just over 100 a side, for touring anyway, just got one on Friday. Hadrian panels as mentioned above for the outer arch.
Take the wheel of and have the car on a axle stand and get poking at the inner arch to see what the damage it. You could also get a angle grinder with wire wheel to them and remove some of the underseal to see what its hiding, make sure you can re-underseal though if you do this.
