2 fresh sills and rear arch and it will go on for a lot longer the rest of the car is pretty tidy mate well worth fixing ![]() |

it's going to be fixxed tommorrow. i've had quotes from £400 to £2000!!! Some places wanted to do a lower half respray at same time claiming they'll need to blend in the new arch panel and sills. Was thinking about refurbing my wheels like i did with my old fez (fiestasiphil knows which ones), i had original series one rs7's in moondust silver with a glitter lacquer. looked amazing in the sun, thinking about doing same to mondy rims whilst car is being repaired. what you guys think, Nice alloy silver with shiny small glitter finish for sunshine sparkle?? |

prices sound about right, similar quote to the prices I had for my rear arches - they just want to do a proper job with no skipping corners. |

Post subject: | Re: Mot failure |
would recommmend people with skirts and arches to pull them off and inspect, i'm fixxing it on the drive way myself, managed to get the nearside done yesterday, what a nightmare finding good metal to attach too!!! |
