Thanks, Sean.

Mine, rear arches: Cost about £350, but I had both welded up and painted, and the whole rear quarter painted on the drivers side as the rust had crept up there.
Before:
After:
Was absolutely mortified when I found it lol.

One of mine has a chunk taken off, but its solid.. so i think the person before me tried modding the arches? It was pretty low when i got it tbh. Hope so! Will find out when it gets a bit warmer

did mine myself, just didnt bother flattening the weld down so its smooth as its un-noticable when arches back on, i undersealed it first then repainted it.cost me about a tenner for the paint and underseal

Had my arches off before the winter and they were solid just a tiny bit surface rust,going to rust treat them and underseal them when the weather gets better.
