The rear arches have been going on my S2 for a while but been spending all my spare cash on the engine.
Going to get them done over xmas, ive brought the arch panels already an they was cheap but welding them on is obviously the expensive bit.
Anybody had theres done? Big, expensive job?

1.9 xr2 on 40's

dont forget the inners will be past it too also the metal to the front of the arch inside

its as expensive as you make it, some people do a cock on job for £200 some want £1500 and it ends up shit, you dont always get what you pay for so you need to know that the person doin it knows a thing or three

where's the best place to get panels these days, need to do the arches and sills on mine at some point!

Yeah ive got the inners aswell cos there not great to be honest. Trying to get a bodyshop to do it isnt that easy, they all jus want easy insurance jobs these days

Is that a complete genuine rear quarter mate??

Paid £200 for mine to be done. I supplied the outer rears and then just rebuilt the tiny bit of rot on the inners for me. I didnt ask for paint afterwards tho so it was returned in primer as requested

beevers autopanels are pretty good, i get most of the bits for my mk1 from them!

They supplied all the bits, did a cracking job

Sounds good mate, might give them a bell an go down there. Did they have your car long?

jn_rowe_uk

Had the car for 1 and a half week in the end so not very long
Did say could be a week but told them to do the job properly and take their time

Car is back in there now at the moment getting a little rust on front wing also
Went down there today to see them and my escort was parked next to a ferrari with a rolls royce phantom next to that, wow
