Where to buy a o/s rear wheel arch repair panel?
I need a repair panel for my GGB Subaru Impreza STI Wagon (MY02 JDM). There is about 4 inches of rust to the o/s rear wheel arch front.
My local body shop can do the work, but would like me to source a repair panel. Please point me in the right direction, many thanks in advance!
Also any advice for a specialist in travelling distance from Leicester would be much appreciated.

Usually they rust top left edge not right front. The front wing section can bue cut and used for the usual place but don't think it would work where you are looking.
That part of the car is the whole rear quarter. Just brought one from Subaru for..... £689.
But looking at that area I would rub it back both sides and repair it. Shouldn't need cutting or welding if its just a scratch that has rusted. Even if it does need cutting its a fairly basic shape that I am sure a good fabricator/welder could replace easily.
