Default Rear arches south west

Can anyone recommend me a good place to have rear arches done properly but not too over the top expensively in south west area.im in Lyme Regis so Exeter,Yeovil,Plymouth,Bournemouth type areas really.also what should I be looking to pay for both done and repainted etc?they are just bubbly and small not rotten and big.
Cheers
Michael

I'm in Barnstaple my arches were beyond my scope they cut out upto around petrol tank/cap on drivers side same on passengers re-welded,waxoyled,re-sprayed rear spoiler,arches,sills,front scoop & vents for £400 very very happy blended in paintwork so you wouldn't even notice hard with a metallic paint.Brynsworthybodyrepairs.co.uk.

Locally to us we have Gavin up at Rousdon and Phil out at Kittwhistle (Marshwood). I've used Phil for some motorbike bits and the quality is really good.

So have you finally found yourself a Subaru now? I've seen you interested in a few on here...

If it has bubbled the paint chances are it is a major job as they rot from inside out

Hi laupy,
Not exactly,lol!im heading over to just past Exmouth on Saturday to view one and looked at one last weekend in Plymouth but not purchased yet.i am quite picky but the rear arches really worry me so looking for bubbling at worst rather than totally rotted but after doing some research on here realise as it rots in to out even bubbles could be a big problem.in a real dilemma now as although I can't really afford it I'd love a blob eye Sti but a turbo 2000 is my realistic budget.

If there are exterior signs of rust then the arches will be buggered. If you can do the work yourself then maybe not so bad.

My arches are rusty but its a race car so not the end of the world
