Right chaps,

So on my e30 convertible me rear arches will be cut out (rust issues) and new ones will be welded back in.

Question is, where can I get new arches from for a cabriolet?

Many thanks

I modded pre facelift rear arch panels,what a ballache,but i was told all cabbys are pre facelift archs,mine came from denmark,but bmw parts on here may fit better, whole quarter panel only,but the thickness is a problem,no roof =thicker panels :cry: good luck happy welding
