Motor is rusting bad at the rear arches. I was considering trying to get a rear arch replacement kit for each side but then stumbled upon this on ebay:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-E30-N-S-R ... 500wt_1156
From a bodyshop perspective would simply painting and switching each panel work out cheaper than cutting out the existing rusty arch and welding in a replacement then painting?
If so does anyone know how much the rear panels retail at and were to get them, BMW part number is 41.35.1.961.529
Cheers
Rear arch replacement

Far more work to change the whole thing. It's not a bolt on, so is cut and welded like a repair patch, except there's a hell of a lot more to cut and weld!

Hadrians panels are the ones which have been used on 2 of my E30s.

Do make sure you are supplied with matching arch repair panels....
