Well the rust worm has eaten more than I though in the usual place in the rear arches, looking at cutting out and fitting new ones, are they available and general costs.

Not available for our Scorps but MkIII Granada ones fit with a little tickling.

First quote £250 next £652 and that is with me supplying the new arches, the hunt goes on.

What exactly is this, how are they different? For me I'd assume 2cm of new arch on most places would be enough. All is covered with chrome arch, but woud hate to see bubbles above them

tlundkvi.
As far as I can see Scorpio arches appear to have a roll near to the rear,Granada ones are a straight rightangle flange,but fit well.What's in a roll eh ? The man who does mine,and he's done many, makes an imperceptible job of them.

Thanks Gozz,
As long as it's well done a small difference should be nothing, anyway it's best to do both sides at once anyway. I was more worried of the part on the door side, arch angle and radius etc.
As with painting, do you usually have the whole rear wing resprayed or do you just airbrush the arch section?

The whole wing on metallics,solid colours are easier to blow in.The Granada arch is the correct radius,and makes a good repair.
