Repair on scenic wheelarches.

l have a Renault megane scenic mark 1 s reg and the rear wheelarches have started to bubble up and show sighs of rust. l would like to get these repaired before they get to bad so can anyone give me some advice on what to use for the repairs ....Or can you buy plastic wheelarch trims that will fit the scenic wheelarches.

    dont put the wheel arch trims on, all they do is mask the rust and provide a place for all the winter road salt to sit and rot even further into the metal.

    sand them, prime them, paint them. you can get a kit to match your paint in halfords.

    or alternatively get it to a bodyshop, a small back street one should do a decent repair for around £100 provided it doesnt need any welding.
