Default Subaru Rear Arches.

Hi,
Has anybody used the classic impreza rear wheel arch repair sections that are on ebay? If so what do they fit like and are they exact replica of the original subaru classic arches with the smaller swage line going around the arch just up from the lip and fadding as it gets to the door apperture?
Any info appreciated Steve.

They aren't a bad fit but need a skilled body man to fit and the sewage line has to be created with a thin layer of filler which is shaped by hand to the correct line and shape. Again a skilled job which if isn't right will ruin the look of the job. When mine were done they looked perfect but they weren't exactly an easy fit and not a DIY job.

I have bought and used them and have to say they were great. I have a thread on here with my work and you can see them on. (Just spraying up this werk). Well worth the money and saves sooooooi much fabrication

What did you use for the inner arch? As I can imagine this was destroyed on the outer edge and up the top near the strut.

Yeh the inner arches had gone but used 1.2mm zintek sheets and fabricated them into shape. I was lucky that my strut tower only HD a small patch of rust so fairly easy patch for me :/
