Don't hold your breath! Schofields don't reply to e-mails. I have e-mailed them 3 times & never had a reply.

Have a good look at it..
Mine was so bad it had eaten into the "B" pillar

I had to use a larger good panel cut from a scrap vehicle to get all I needed

Slight hijack here, but still on topic

Regarding rear wheel arch rot.

I figure I should get mine done.

I know I can get the repair panels from JK, but

A - I was wondering how much ( aprox of course ) I might be likely to pay to have the work done, including painting them ?

B - Would you trust a reputable general bodyshop or find a specialist VW one ?

Cheers - will do - didn't realize he did that sort of work as well.

No wonder he is always so busy
