I've got plans on what I'm gonna be up to neat year already! I've descided to throw the idea of selling my car outa the window and now gonna put the cash I was going to use to get the new one back into the lil corsa.
How much on average should I be looking at to get the arches smoothed into the bodywork? has anybody got this done already?

a few People have done this. I would say average it would cost £100 to do each Arch. Some Companies may charge more or even less.
heres mine...

If you use plastic, your going to have a 50% job, use steel, provide it for the bodyshop to use if need be.
My rally project had an old panel beater on the job

I aint got £100 to spare for each arch but would it be possible just to get a bodyshop to smooth and then colour code an arch to the same colour as rest of the car. So it's still seperate but same colour i.e instead of white and grey arch i'd have whit and white if you know what i mean.

shouldn't be to much, probably around £100 but you may aswell have other stuff colour coded at the same time.

Yeah, I want to get all my grey/black plastic bits on my exterior smoothed and then painted white like th rest of the car. I need mirrors, arches, bumpstrips and the bit between the bottom and the top of the colour coded rear and front bumpers. How much more do you think I would be looking at for this?
