Cost to replace rear arches?
I have an '02 bug wagon and the arches are going both sides. Anyone had them replaced or can suggest a rough guide to cost of repairing/painting/etc?
Weighing up if it's worth doing or not. Thanks for any info. |
Cost me £600 labour and painting
Replacent arches £144 ( now on eBay at £90 a pair Replacent arch trim and plastic section at bottom £100 So about £850 up north Seems about the average price My rust started slowly at 9/10 years and I waited Another five years before it went under the knife |
Only classic replacement panels available currently though

I've looked round and not seen any repair panels for the new age Imprezas. Shame really as nothing else wrong with the car but can't justify spending £800-900 on it.

Mine are going the same way ('02 Bug).
The thing with rust, is that is doesn't go away if you just ignore it :lol1: Will have to attend to them at some point. Can't see there being much change from a grand with repair panels. However, if I try and sell it as is, I won't get much for it. Still makes more sense to repair it, than flog it for peanuts and spend a load more on another unknown car. |

can you link me to the ebay arches?
Newage arches have not appeared yet but "impartsb46" on eBay have the inner arches. |
Sadly the rust you see is the tip of the iceberg.
