That seems a bargain. Was that for a complete new wheel arch and spray? I desperately need mine doing. The cheapest I can find is about £150 a side. I'm willing to take my van to the Southampton area if you can recommend the same garage. I called the local Suzuki dealer in that area (Totton) and they said they no longer had a body shop and the one they recommended was looking at over £200 a side. Cheers for the help

I'd roll a grenade, without the pin, across their floor then.
Doesn't Dell Boy have the arch's??

Ah I guess I’m ahead of myself here. I guess that price is just for the arches, no work ect. Well it was early this morning when I read it  |

I do both sides for £200 plus extra £30.00 for spraying. Usually more metal needs cutting out than just the arch. I do this for no extra charge. If the van is delivered to me by 9:30 I can do them in a day whilst you wait. If spraying is not required I leave them in primer. Derek.

£200 for repaired arches sounds geat to me! Unfortunately I'm a long way from Rainham. Can Dell Boy supply repair panels for me to fit myself? Mine have been badly 'bodged' by a previous owner and need replacing.
I got quotes from Suzuki of about £64 for the nearside and £96 for the offside arches (plus vat of course!). It doesn't seem that any of the after-market repair panel manufacturers are offering these parts now-a-days; tried Hadrain, SSVG, and Beever panels and drew a blank.

have to agree with derek if you have not caught them early more has to be cut out than the replacement arches cover

As far as I can tell they come from Japan via Germany when bought from a Vauxhall dealer with a General Motors sticker carefully positioned over the suzuki part no. My local, large vauxhall dealer has just gone bust!!!! Derek.
