How easy is it to swap rear arches/quarter panels?

as above, is it pretty simple or hard?

my arches have been rolled and i dont like the fact the plastic inner arch doesnt quite clip onto them so am thinking of putting some replacements on

I believe easy right up to the point where you get to one bolt that is hard to get to.

What he said......

side skirts and rear bumper off ok (looks like you have done that plenty of times already)... the fussy one is under the top finisher that goes from side to side (between the boot lid and roof).... been there, done that! ;)
 
hmmm sounds like it could be a bit of a pig of a job then, i also assume you have to mess around aligning it by fitting and test fitting the other bit to make sure it all lines up?

reason is, ive seen some alipne white bits for sale and was tempted to make a cheeky offer for the rear arches and swap them over.... not sure if its worth the effort if its a hard job tho :headbang:
 
The aligning bit will be easy.

Get them, even if you don't fit for a while you will have them ready. From memory you can also see your arches have been rolled from a distance so another reason to swap IMO.
 
got a reply from the seller on ebay, wants £260 for the pair..... that sounds a lot to me?
