rear arch replacement
« on: 02 March 2010, 19:52 »
Hi,

someone has slighty scuffed my rear arch today!  :angry: i managed to get some of the marks off, but i couldnt budge the rest out and had to touch it up with some paint. there is also a slight dent if you look hard enough!

saying this its not to bad now, but its still not perfect!

so out of interest does anyone know how much i will be looking at for a new arch?

Keith Williams in Cardiff, very honest guy told me not to do it yet  and see what happens with the MOT (up in 30 days) first before i start restoring the car. Car is fine so its not going to be a problem, but its nice to see not everyone wants to rip you off
