Bottom of rear arch

The area just in front of the rear wheel, where you would the stone chip protectors, is now showing signs of rust, rumour has it this is a common spot.

I'm trying to see if I can purchase a new piece/panel so I can approach a local body shop with a view of sorting it out.

Anyone know where I could source one from? It's the passenger side.

Cheers

I have just ordered two full sills from www.classiccarpartsandpanels.co.uk. They also do the bit you need for the rear wing. good luck though as its usually a sign of worse behind.

Let us know how well they fit and some pictures after fitting if you can. Would be great to see these on a car. Got to do mine at some point as I think my sills are full of filler.

I will try and post pics. The parts are made to order so it will be @ 2 weeks before they arrive.

heres my attempt, with a genuine sill, corner plate and separator panel and a couple of repairs to to inner sill behind the separator panel.

I have non genuine parts for the other side and although they are a bit cheaper, they take a bit more fettling to line up properly. Also the non genuine sills dont have the drain holes in them like the OPC ones - maybe storing up trouble for the future if you are keeping the car for a while

heres the corner plate tacked on, again being OE it makes it easy to get the correct profile on the outer panel

that's looking like a very good repair - the inner sill was well gone.
