That back corner of the arch is far from bad, tbh.

Difficult to say about the side skirt. They look like a good job was done in fitting them actually - levels are spot on blended. But to get them off and see behind them, will just trash them. Might as well just get what you can see on that join, treated, filled and painted over.

Pretty much any replacement 4th gen you buy is bound to have rust as bad as that, meaning you've forked out for a new car and then still have to fork out to get the rust fixed, imo.

Well i will look to see how much it will cost me to get everything sorted. If price is fair, then i will crack on with it. If not im not sure yet.....

This stuff has sealed all the rusty area on the wheel arches with a wax coated layer. Good for the shortterm anyway
