New rear arches?

How much roughly should I budget for new rear arches to be purchased, a fabricator to fit them and to be sprayed mars red?

Thanks

I have found the pattern parts for about £50, so does anyone know how much a fabricator might charge to fit? and how much to spray?

Thanks

anybody  :redfaced:

no one paid to have this done? 8O

I personally think its depending on who you choose to do it. people charge different prices, but if its so badly rusted etc may be good to pay someone skilled but otherwise i know i would do it myself as i often have more time than money! so just welding filler spray etc

I payed £22 each +vat for mine so i hope you mean £50 the pair… go to your local bodyshop and get a quote.  If you want it done properly without a bucket of filer per arch expect to pay decent money.  Blending mars red isn't easy either as it fades easily.

Personally, I'd be wanting about £500 for the repairs alone.  The paint is about £50 a litre and you'd want half a litre.  then you add primer and filler etc.  Ask a bodyshop. don't go to a garage.

Find somewhere that restores cars and check their work first.

If you haven't bought them already, I got mine from bigboystoys-uk.com for £16.33 including vat and free postage so i'd recommend there   not sure about the contractor though but i'm having mine done soon.
