182 rear quarter panel replacement - Part 2

I can't believe that two years have passed since I had the offside rear done.

182 rear quarter panel replacement - Part 1

So, after a while of procrastination, I bit the bullet and decided to get the offside rear panel sorted. As most will be aware, the crap design of the fuel filler area and the lottery of the cill protection means that rust can be on a sliding scale of pretty much zero to a clump of brown metal...

Regardless, the nearside panel and a replacement bonnet were ordered from France yesterday.

ETA will be 2 weeks minimum and the body shop is rammed until February at the earliest. Still, at least the wheels are now in motion.

Excellent!

Have prices soared since last time?

They've definitely gone up. Not much change (inc.VAT) from a grand for both the rear quarter and the bonnet. Unpainted, of course!

Can you send me a link where to buy the arches?

Mine have started to go at the bottom near the skirts and I want them doing next year

I went through the body-shop who did the work last time. They contacted Renault directly over in France on my behalf.
