Hi all
Many thanks for all of the advice given on replacing the rusty wheel arches on my beloved Bongo
I purchased off and nearside Mk6 transit wheel arches from Hadrian on Ian's advice, and had them fitted and sprayed at a body shop near Milton Keynes for the princely sum of £250 for each side........they look great, and the body shop has guaranteed them for the life of my Bongo (no more then 10 years he hopes) and this to me is a great deal
If someone can tell me how to download photos onto the forum, I will do so....got some great pics, have tried to insert pics and failed. As a point of interest, now that the shop has done a Bongo, he is keen for more ( he tells me he is fed up of VW's, Bongos produce a better finished product!), so if anyone is looking in this area let me know
Can't wait to have a weekend away to show off
Speak soon
Serge
