beefertoo Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 just a quick question on wheel arch repair panels... on mine the arch lip is ok but the bit round the lock is rusty, does the repair panels from rimmers etc include the lock pressing?looking on the site i cant see it.cheers craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heraldcoupe Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Unusual rust pattern, by the time the area around the bonnet catch rots, the wheelarch is invariably well past it's best.Pretty sure all current arch repairs just deal with that, older repair sections dealt with the area under the catch, but were rarely well made panels. Changing the whole wing was always the best option when arch and catch area were rotten.Cheers,Bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beefertoo Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 going to have a look at getting the catch area pressed out, how far round does the current arch repair come and would it be worth getting some more pressed out? any call for them?cheers craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
