Gotta be careful at the rear as it's double skinned IIRC. Are they buggered beyond repair? You can still get the rear quarter panels I think, which obviously have the arches as part of the panel.

 

Mazda RX8 have nice round arches like the C's, maybe a little big, but perfect for fitting huge wheels behind as they wear 18s as standard ;-)

why not use a rado one???

to get rear arches ya need the full 1/4,a bit on the expensive side for me,last i heared they were about 500 quid each!!!

don't somewhere like Hadrian panels have corrado arches?

 

I can't believe I can get arches for the Mk1, but not the corrado which is 10 years younger

I'd just cut them out of a scrapped C, use a nibbler to get a nice tidy cut - Frost sells 'em. I wouldn't try arches off any other cars unless you do front arches to match.

Try RKE - they've got a G60 that they're breaking , and they had one of the arches nicely cut out last time I looked.

Hadrian do Mk 1 Scirocco rear arches ('77 onward) but not any for the Mk 2 nor the Corrado. :(

 

(the only Mk 2 body panel they do is the bonnet)
