Rear Arch Repair

I like the idea of a 206 front wing because it's galvanised but is it true that the profile is not quite right? I'm only doing the one side so wouldn't want something that looks different.
The repair panels from puma-schmiede seem to be a good option - http://www.puma-schm...index.php?a=591, but there is also a UK seller on ebay that might be worth a look (ribenaberryshakin) but he has some negative feedback and they don't look as well made in the photo as the former. Is the seller known to the club at all?
Fibrebuild also do some but I haven't seen any photo's.

I may be wrong but I suspect there is only the one uk supplier of the repair panels. (Fibrebuild and ribenaberryshakin seem very similar)
I had the Fibrebuild panels fitted and the bodyshop said that they were OK - If I hadn't supplied the panels they would have made some up themselves. They spent a lot of time treating the inside where they rust through so they should last a long time.

This is using 206 front wing, remember it's the opposite front wing to repair the rear arch. There is a slight difference in profile but who can look at both sides at the same time?

Cheers. I was wondering if ECP was a good place to buy from. The ones on Ebay look about the same price.
It's local and can pickup so no chance of damage in transit
