Hi guys,
i have had a quote from a nice chap daz put me in touch with to sort out my wheel arch bodge job. he's quoted £200 which is great and im more than likely going to go with that.
however someone suggested replacing the whole wing and bumper (as ive ballsed up a bit of filler on that too.
also another plus for replacing the wing and bumper is that the original problem was rust!
what do you reckon? can i get a wing and bumper in star silver and get it fitted for a good price do you reckon?
cheers :y

Rear quarter is not replacable (other than cutting and welding

Not with a set of spanners and a screwdriver. 2woody's plasma cutter and a welder maybe.....

..... and if possible presumably much more expensive than a £200 fix!
right, cheers guys, thats made my decision for me!!! :y

Fix what you've got Webby, rear quarter panel is a pretty major task :y
-
Not with a set of spanners and a screwdriver.
I have a socket set, will that help.

guys, just in addition to the original query.....
by choosing the repair option will the rust definitely disapear or will it eventually come back as that whole area is ''diseased''? :-/
cheers
-
Depends how good a job is done. If its a quick bodge blow-over, then it will come back...
-
Depends how good the repair is, a bad repair will come back 6 -12 months, a good one should last a good few years, probably have other bits falling off by then.
Must type quicker, or was I beaten by a long bit of Twisted Pair!

ok thanks guys,
TB you're from my way..... i've had a quote of £200 from castle coach work. now ideally i'd take it to daz's mate but it's in stoke and i'm going to have to either stay or get a train back so we're talking a lot of extra cost that i'd prefer to spend on the car itself!!
have you heard anything about this company?
they're on the kings heath industrial estate :)
