Default Rear Arch Repair Panels For 98 Type R

Afternoon all

We are trying to source some rear outer arch repair Pannels if such things exist?? They are for a 3 door 98 Type R V-Limited.

Any body ever found any or bought some?

Also toying with a wide arch kit if we cant source the repair panels so any good recomendations for one?? want it to look tidy if we do go this route so dont want some silly effort of a body kit if that makes any sense to you all.

Any help, advice, links to other projects would be appreciated, have found a couple of images of cars with the wide arch kits, some which look better than others, which is why im asking opinions on it, i know alot of it comes down to the painter and fitting of the kit but at the same time there are some kits that just never look right on a car IMO.

Cheers
Craig

I think they can be bought or used 2 at crazy money! So it just wasn't cost effective... It is true that u can use the front wings for rear replacements! The front passenger side does the rear driver side and vice versa...

Ill look the thread up here.

Be careful of fibreglass parts: the differential expansion rate means they are more likely to crack at the joint than not
