Got myself a new plastic arch via ebay £7.82p 
so i decided to re-fit the one that was broken, i thought it would take no longer than 1hr tops, Fail !!!
in the end it took me 3hrs, and i had discoverd tin worm on the botton line of the sill area, so for a temporly messure ive had to put some mesh and fiber glass padding in, untill i figure out how to do some welding
ive got some photos via mobile to up load.
make me think they would have noticed this when doing the MOT.. obvisuly not.
i wont be taking it back there again.

well saves me the hassle or driving around looking for one, ive just put some mesh and plastic padding on for now, extremely low on funds  , only problerm i found is that half of the metal lugs are coroded, and rusty like hell, so ive had to make some to fit the holes, so just waiting for the filler to set , re-fit the arch, and under seal the whole car.
