Hi, I want to get an m.o.t on my low mileage 325i. The inner rear arches are shot. Need it done asap, can anyone help or point me in the right direction? Been quoted around £450 to get it all done but that seems steep!
Have the cash to do it at last!

Cheers, Leigh. :)

fibre glass is your friend, get a kit from halford bodge over the holes and paint the inner wheel arch with back paint then after thats dried take it to a bit of grass and spin the wheels for that aged affect.

Then after you've got you mot you've got time to look around for a better deal for the welding.

Bodywork is always expensive as it is mainly labour that you are paying for.You can buy a decent MiG welder and new inner arches and all the rest of the tools you may need for less than £450,then have a go yourself.You can even enroll at your local college for a welding course... winkeye
