Not quite sure if you are referring to plastic wheel arch extensions, but if you mean the OEM guard lips, I am reliably informed that the front left guard wheel lip is the same as the rear right and the front right is the same as rear left.

Thus you can use a front guard as a donor for a rear rust repair.

Haven't done it myself, but holding a front guard up to the rears, they certainly look close.

Parrot is right. Left front arch fits right rear and so on. Its a rather expensive fix, though Smile

Perhaps, but I have got a reasonable guard with a bad section at the bottom near the door that would be a good donor.

It's all relative I suppose.

Mine problem is that not even one arch is repairable, so I need to find the closest matches to all 4 arches, and situation about both side step panels is the same Banging head
