Rusty Rear Arches
« on: 17 May 2012, 16:55:07 »
Hi all,

Just thought I would post a pic of my rusty rear arch as hopefully, it won't be there much longer.

The car is going to the bodyshop on Monday to have this arch, the other one (which is nowhere near as bad) and the rear bumper done.

I'll post some after pics up once I get back and I'm going to ask the bodyshop to take some W.I.P. pics too.



Pretty bad! It looks even worse now as the chap in the bodyshop pulled all the loose paint off to see how bad it really was. He said he's going to cut out the old metal and put a new bit in...

Thanks
Mike

Mine was £450.
I thought it was expensive, but everyone I know said it wasn't bad :(
