Default RB5 rear arches

Hi all

So my RB5's rear arches are pretty terrible so I'm having all the body work fixed along with the arches. Now iv got two front wings to donate what's needed for the rears, but I have the option on a Sport that I can use to donate a pair of rear arches, the arches on the sport are completely rust free and have a rubber seal protecting them.

So my question is, are the rear arches on the sport different to mine on the RB? To me they look the same but some help would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Jack

All classic four doors use the same panel.The rubber seal is widely regarded as causing more problems then in solves.

You can get side pannels from subaru, take about 3/4weeks. About £350+vat

Appreciate that, I'm hoping to come up with a decent solution without buying a brand new panels from Subaru. That's £840 before fitting painting etc. My local bodyshop who have done lots of work for me in the past and specialise in restorations are confident we can use a doner set of arches to do a long term repair.
