I believe the replacement panel is based on a Mercedes Vito; it requires some fettling to fit the Bongo in an acceptable way. I'm sure someone with more bodywork skills than me will be along soon to advise you further.
My rear arches are a bit crusty, but I'm hoping to get away with a black 2K epoxy primer then overpaint them. Had a similar job done on an MG TF last year, along with a full underseal.

Sorry, my mistake. Of course I meant Sprinter!
