stichill99 said:Cableguy,did you just get the wheel arches cleaned and painted or did you have to paint the whole wing? When my car was in getting scuttle done I commented to the body shop there was some light bubbles on the inner lip of wheel arches and could they tidy them up? He replied that he would need to paint the whole side of the car which seemed ridiculous. I would have thought a good painter could have blended the inner lip without needing to come up onto the side of the car?

Endoman said:Mine was repaired with 20g galvanised sheet with stainless studs welded in.
mashby said:I'm not exactly sure as a friend made it up to match the existing thickness although it looked to be about 1mm thick / 20 swg as Endoman says.
