Thanks for the reply
My names Dein. I've fitted new inner arches and outer arches. Not heard of panel bond. Was going plug weld inner to outer then seal with sealant and paint with epoxy. Just wondered what other people did and whether it worked.

oem arches are spot welded so plug welding will be fine, just put seam sealer all around the lip and you should be golden. some weld thru paint on the inside of the arch panels would be a good idea before you put the outer lip repair on
