Wheel arch panels

[malcolm.phillips45464]

Hi, I've just got another X Type estate and its really good apart from the two rear wheel arches. Both front halves need cutting out due to rust. Does anyone know if anywhere that makes relacement arches for the x type please? Thanks

Hi,
I have just had a look on ebay and repair panels are being offered for the X-type. I have no idea to their quality but even if a little work is required to make them fit it would be a lot better than making one from scratch. Exeter based company called CarVanBits.
Worth giving them a go?

Hi Dave,
I had a look at their eBay Shop and notice they sell the sills as well.
Which is good news as I have been told numerous times you can't get hold of them.
Here is a link to their eBay Shop:

Hope that's of use to others.
Take care.

Hi, Brit Cars International have done the job, fabricated their own. One side was saveable.
Sills need doing for next mot may 2024 so I'll start saving...... cheers
