That little flap that's about the size of an A4 sheet of paper, sits next to the sill, yes?

Can get one off my scrapper/spares car if you like Mr The Bear.  :y

That's the one mate but it's on the other side of the wheel I.e. It attaches to the bottom of the bumper..... Shall I get a pic just to be totally sure?

If you manage to get one mate pm me and I'll a million percent have it off you. Much appreciated mate  :y

Needed for two reasons...

Firstly it secures the bottom of the bumper and stops the air from getting behind it.

Secondly, and more importantly,  it stops all the crud from collecting upbehind the bumper. Don't forget, on a saloon this is where the boot air vents are.

Given how long ago you had the arches done, I would pull the bumper and check very carefully for any rot. Bodyshop can then rectify it foc...
And when you take the car in, leave the bumper cover at home... that way you can see if they've bodged it again :-X

Ahh, also could someone give me confirmation that FL and PFL use the same part? My spares car is a PFL, Webby's being a FL, of course, that's all.

I can get a FL one, but that'll be from the local scrappy, and will therefore have to ask for actual moneypence for it  :)

Bumper might be a different shape... only way to know would be to have the parts side by side :-\

Have a feeling they will be... I only found out (to my cost) the front arch liners on the front are different on PFL to FL...after I'd turned down some PFL ones, knowing I has some FL 'in stock'

I can confirm that PFL and FL are different part numbers - and different sizes too. FL ones are longer/taller.

DBG, pics as promised mate...

1) the missing lower wheel arch on the offside...

2) a pic of the lower arch in place on the near side; it looks like it attaches to the bottom of the bumper and to the inboard chassis...

As said I'll pay for it (as long as it doesn't cost a million pounds  ;D) but is there any chance you could send the screws and plastic nuts that affixes it..... those also went missing too  >:(

Re the steering wheel, thanks for the offer mate but I'm all good here  :y
