Depends if you want them patched up only for the rust to come back 6 months later...... which it will.

Only permanent solution is to chop out and replace with new arches. VERY expensive unless you learn to weld..... which I've started doing  ;)

That's a good thing but unless you can weld or have a buddy that can help it's going to cost a lot.

I got quoted over a grand for replacing wheel arches (I.e. cutting out old, welding in new and filling, painting etc)

Cheaper to take a welding course, buy a welder and do it yourself. And it'll be an extra string to your bow   :y
