Rear Wing - Offside - Part 2

Just a quick post today. The rear offside wing on the car is sound, apart from a very small area where it meets the wheel arch. Typically this is a sod to repair.


The problem with this area is that (a) it has multiple curves (b) the metal is very thin and (c) it is very visible from the outside. I did spend a bit of time wondering if a repair panel was available, but in the end I concluded to the negative and decided to make my own.

Using a flat bit of steel, I shaped a repair panel and I am very pleased with it. It took a lot of measuring (me? measuring?) and banging in the vice, but it fitted pretty well. I have not cut the rusty area out yet, so the photos just show the new panel sitting atop the old.
