Thanks Ian. Just to let people know, I've recently taken on a very experienced Bodyman/painter to increase capacity but still keep the high standards. Nothing I hate more than having people waiting.

The best fit are Mercedes Sprinter. Need modifying. Feel free to call me on the number below if you would like some more information

In this warm weather as soon as it's matt. Don't leave it more than 6 hours before lacquering

It is possible but a lot of work. If you want you can ring me and I'll talk you through what's needed

Have you tried the rust directory?

I'd say repair. But I repair them for a living so I would say that! !

Hi Winchman

Would you be able to email the diagram to me at [email protected] ? Thanks in advance

Just get a 15" spare. Easier to store and will be same rolling radius

They look very nice Mike, and you're right they really suit the bongo

If you're not prepared to, or able to cut out the rot and weld in new steel I would advise using a chopped strand glass fibre paste as it is non porous

You will have a lip, but the plastic wheelarch liner will be touching it. You'll have to push it back to reveal the lip.

Where are you located Kerry?

Inner wheelarches are in two pieces and are available from Mazda dealers at around £120 per side

The rear and side skirts from a later aero will fit but not the front. I am currently working on reproducing the aero kit plus a skirt for the earlier model.

In my opinion the best way forward would be to cut out all corrosion,inspect the inner stucture and weld in new sections cut from a scrap shell and repaint as required.
