Rear corner or arch cut

June 02, 2021, 02:30:33 PM

Before I part with my hard earned for a new one of these...

Just wondered if anyone had any left over panels or body cuts, or this section from an arch repair panel ..
e.g the bottom bit of one of these

Just a bit scabby on the rear left:

But I don't think it warrants a full repair panel.

Tim, I have those very panels.....however both mine have the ends cut off to make repairs on mine!
They are Klokkerholm brand and zinc coated. The moulding of the panels seems fine except for the ends where they don't shrink the metal so it has folds in arch lip - not ideal. They didn't cost much.

I found the exact same, bought a panel for a few quid from Classic VW and used the lower half, once you trim it, it fits pretty well.

I've just ordered the same rear corners from heritage about £25 a side

Have ordered from Mark at Classic VW now.

After a bit more metal (and filler) removal I've now ordered a full arch for the right side (5 door as that's all in stock - but I only need the lip so should be able to trim back) and the full back corner for the left side....

where's the fingers crossed emoji?
