Rear wings/arches

[big hp]

Can you still buy clio 16v rear quarter panels?

My drivers side arch is fooked. Its also started bubbling up behind the drivers door now. Dont know wether the best option is to get it all cut out or to source a new drivers side rear wing. Hmmmmm

Well, Im having my rear arches done..

They get a normal Clio Arch (£20 I think each..) and then cut mine out and blend that new one in.. easiest way - also means the rust wont come back if its done properly.

if you want to replace the whole quarter youll be looking at quite a pretty penny.when i dinged mine i was quoted at around 800 quid to get a new panel welded in, painted etc.

the way Daz is saying about is a hell of a lot cheaper.

Well, the way Im doing it is the way most people do.

If I remember, the whole 16v/Williams quarter panel is like £300 - £400 from Renault? Each side!

 

[richy]

yep its about that price for a full panel!! like said its easyier if its cut out and a new section welded in etc and sealed properly

Yea I know. Heh.. I was just saying that most people do it the same way, hehe.

190 for a 16v rear arch from reno...

I was just thinking about getting a new rear quarter. I saw one on ebay about 3 months ago. it went for £150. I might do it properly and get a rear quarter. Would prob work out a bit more expensive but better in the long run. Am planning on keeping the car for a few years so want the car sorted this year.

I want it mint, stripped out, caged and poss next year a modified willie conversion.

Wont make any difference - if you get a good job, only the bottom bit needs replacing.. as thats the only bit which rusts. Itll save a lot of money - and I cant see you gaining anything unless there is rust higher up!

 

[big hp]

No rust higher up just thinking of the long term.

 

[Daz]

Yea, but if you have the bottom of the arch cut out.. a new bit put and properly sealed.. it wont come back.. ever.

It only rusts cus the sealent is bad.. it depends who sealed it at Renault on the day.. and how good they were, heh.

 

[casiodan]

sorry to regurgitate this old thread but where can i get some replacemnt arch sections?

 

[Final Maxim]

yea my 1/4 from renault was little over 200

 

[TomS]

Im dreading getting any rust on mine! I dont let it get dirty! lol

Id want to pay for a new wing if it happened on mine (personally)

Some of the prices are varying on here! £400? £190?

(touch wood i dont get any!)
