inner arch repair panels are dealer only, outer 'repair panels' can be bought as pattern from carz2.co.uk

HTH
How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

Sticking a new arch on is a piece of piss.

It's repairing / replacing the inner arch properly that's the tricky, and more expensive bit.

Hi mate, there are some really nice threads on here with lots of pictures replacing the inner arches.
