just after christmas i was given a wee r plate corsa merit, low lmileage but a few un careful owners, i knew the rear had been repaired at some point due to the signs of repair in the boot floor



i knew at some poinjt the rear bumper would come off and that id need to tidy the rear panel up and under seal it but didnt think id have this looking back at me








now i know its just a rear panel that has been fitted badly, and its just split due to bad welding but do you think its worth getting a new one fitted?

im in 2 minds cause id like to put all the parts on a tigra but what to you think?

all the rust in located opn the back panel itself, the pics from under the arches are where the panel meets the chasis leg and all the metal on the chasis legs is solid, maybe making a mountain out a molehill but wanting to break it up, going to price a new panel tomorrow, and when its getting fitted ill get the sparewheel well removed as well, just need to amke sure this ones fitted correctly and not a cheap as panel this time
