archs arrrggghhh

What's the major difference if much between a maestro rear arch and a montego??
Can't find any repair panels for my maestro anywhere. I must have phone and emailed 50 places but nothing about
Everyone seems to be able to aquire montego repair panels though????

Rather than map the entire arch out and mess about could the monty one be cut about to fit???

Thanks
Andy

I was told recently that the arches from the front wings are the same as the rear provided you swap from left to right side if you know what I mean. There are plenty of wings about. Seems a shame to butcher them but better than trying to fabricate an arch. I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm wrong.

Metal bumper or other? NS or OS?

Plastic bumper both sides

Montego arches are a lot of work to get to fit a maestro. The are longer so you also need to chop an inch out of the front and make up the corner piece infront of the wheel. Not impossible but cutting up mint used or new front wings is a much easier option. They may look slightly different though..never looked closely

Might be a possibility if worse case scenario

Just manged to get a pair of front wings off eBay for 99p so will have a look Saturday

Thank you

Only 4 doors to repair. Hatch and sills to go
