I've got a spare set. They ended up costing around £60 not £53 in the end due to PayPal fees and exhchange rate fluctuations.
£40 one side, £60 the pair. Plus shipping if required.
Costs a tenner to courier by UPS if you're not within reasonable distance of Reading to collect (or I may be able to drop them off depending on where you are and whether I'm going that way as I drive all over the place through work).

Hi,
New to this forum. I need to repair my Puma rear arches. How do I get my hands on the repair panels?

All gone I'm afraid. Though it does look like there are enough people with rusty arches who want to get them fixed that it might be worth doing another group buy at some point.

There's a UK guy selling arch inserts on eBay for £55 post free but with a waiting time of 10 days (probably comparable to the time from Germany.) Have a look - any opinions?
It may be the way the photo's taken but they look like mild steel as there seems to be rust in 2 spots on the upper arch on the first photo.

I see two other sets have been sold recently. Could ask the seller but I guess they could be mild steel for cost and ease of welding.
searching is fruitful | I'm a sponge not a mechanic | please do try that if stuck with a Puma problem whilst waiting for a reply | For the Puma fan this read 'The Inside Story Book' is very nice to own sometimes still seen for sale

I don't particularly object to mild steel as long as the part and the interior are properly treated.

Damn! It's always the same. You mention to a friend that you had to buy an expensive ostrich-polisher and the reply is, "Oh, I've got one of those in my garage, you could have had it for free."
Too late, I've ordered them... Ho hum...

£800 later the car is back and looking lovely.
Bodyshop says that the arches from fibrebuild were fine to ft after a bit of rust repair once the inside of the arches was inspected. Both sides resprayed as far as the doors and the rust spots treated in the corner of the door frames. New (used) rear bumper, resprayed bonnet and all over polish.
The car stinks of waxoyl though

Cambelt next

/>/>It would have been about £250 a side he had suggested but I gave him a budget to work to and said I wanted the money spent. Having gone over the car at home it seems the car has been resprayed apart from roof, wings and hatch. He hadn't mentioned the door sills but they were scratched before and are lovely now. The new bumper paint matches the hatch really well.
After a lot of back-to-black the car now looks like a new one. New wheel centres on order to finish it off.
