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

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.
