Wheel arch liner

Post by pshanks76 » Sat Feb 18, 2017 5:45 pm

I got my car back from the garage (Willowbrae) at the end of October and noticed when I got home that the rear passenger side wheel arch liner was missing... Not great for keeping crap out of the engine bay!

After waiting months with no progress, despite Craig attempting to support (it went to Willowbrae for bodywork repairs via CMC) I've had enough and will just buy one myself, but not sure where is best to source one from? Found one on eBay but Craig reckoned it was probably more expensive than a new one!

Any recommendations gratefully appreciated.

P.S. will write a proper testimonial on Willowbrae soon!

The Willowbrae testimonial will make fun reading!

I got a wheel arch liner from Deroure for the exige, it was actually better than the original, possibly an upgrade / slightly modified version to minimise the risk of tyre rub. The exige liner also had a rubber strip on the edge which you might also need - not sure on the S2. check the other side to be sure.

Pretty poor from the body shop. They possibly split it when it was removed and the guy just covered his tracks.

Poor service or what!!!!!

Your pic looks like an S2 and I noticed a listing on Seloc for some parts from a 2002 S2 Elise that is being broken for spares - Maybe worth a PM query on wheel arch liners ;

Thanks, I'll PM on Seloc and drop a note to the guy breaking on eBay. Seen the second one on eBay, Deroure price is £55 new so £50 for used seems a bit steep.
