Rusted Arches

[crezz]

as the title suggest, ive got a problem with rusty rear arches. im worried that they are beyond rubbing down, filling and spraying. does anybody know if you can get replacement arch panels? if so where from?
any body else had to do theres?

cheers

Rusty arches - welcome to Ibiza ownership!!!!

I would say that replacing that panel is going to cost probably more than the car is worth

 

[goble]

anygood bodyshop will be able to remove the rotten section and make up a new secion treat seal and paint, what size are are we talking about

the panels are £73 +Vat each........ well the rust is starting to make its way up around from the lip. a bodyshop could probably sort it but i doubt there will be a cure for it unless i buy a new panel....and i cant seem to find that part on there web page either? dunno how you got it m0rk? lol

Same problem here with the rusty arches but cant seem to find the part on the website above. Think im going to have to get mine done in the spring as getting quite bad now

the rust can be chopped off an moulded, my mates golf was the same. grind the arches and managed to smooth them etc..

But yeah, rear quarters are a pain in the back side to replace.

i will go to a couple bodyshops around me and see what they say

i had a quote from a local bodyshop to sort the rusty arches out on my old mk2, and it was £200

and they were quite bad to...
