Repair arches???

[slippy]

Do these exist for an '89 2 door E30?? If so are they full inner arches that will fill the complete inside of the wheel arch both front and rear??? Are they hard to come by and is it really difficult fitting them?

fitting them may be a bit of hassle here and there, but i'm pretty sure all these parts are available, but whether you can still get OE panels is another thing.

Hmmm the outer arches are perfect its just the inner arches that are the problem just trying to get an idea of what to look for if I was going to undertake this job or else if i should just cut my losses and run a mile! Must do some internet searching!!!

most motor factors will be able to tell you what panels are available mate

GSF have their parts catalogue which you can download as a PDF document

panels are available from bmw if you want them, but they come at a price, rear inner arch is 125quid!

That's a lot more than I paid.

I think mine were about Ԛ£60. This is for the outer section of the inner arch (if that makes sense ). It may be nearer to Ԛ£125 if you also change the inner section of the inner arch, but that part rarely has problems.

Im going to have to consult a body expert just to find out exactly what I need! This classic car business is a lot more difficult than I had anticipated!!!

Hi Ian, i priced up the inner part as the 325 i had before had totally gone on the inner and outer arch, suspension mount for rear shock was totally gone,
in the end i decided to reshell the car and i`m about 80% done so far
