Default Front wings - gaps at the bottom

Hi All,
I have been dealing with some minor rust inside the wheel arches/ front wings. This was all behind the plastic arch liner. All done BUT I am not really happy about the size of the gaps at the bottom of the wings - see the photos:


It is the same for both sides. Surely road muck will just get up inside the wheel arch cover?
I am thinking of meshing/ fibre filling them?
Opinions please!

Can anybody give me an indication what their car looks like at the same location?
Cheers.
