I dont know how Mark is with welding, spraying etc but if you are not 100% confident in doing it yourself get a good bodyshop to do it for you. Quite a big job but do it right first time and you have the permanent solution.
In no way does it alter the arch look...that's why I did it this way. It does take more effort, but ultimately when space is tight...most often it is the inner arch that is the problem, not so much the actual outer arch.
