rear arches - Page 2

How much of the arch is missing? Just the lip and the vertical bit, or does the corrosion extend round onto the angled part as well?

Right, try this place, UK supplier, says they are in stock at £50 a side.

I wish I'd looked there at those rear corners before patching mine. Oh well, too late now.

i could repair passenger side just needs a new lipbut drivers side needs a whole new lip plus around 4 inches off the face off the arch has gone so just wanted sumthing solid in rather than plates and filler living in the hebrides and salt air doesnt help

Makes me sorry for scouring the web trying to help, we just don't need parts suppliers like these !

Hopefully you used paypal or credit card in which case you should be able to get them to sort a refund as per Tractor Dave posted.
