£200 now for a quick bodge job, which will then show rust again in [insert random time period here].

Or, get a proper job done, that'll last years.


Choice is yours, at the end of the day.

My fibered repaired arches lasted a year before they bubbled again. But I went with fiber repaired on the basis that there is a good chance that I may crash my 4th gen.

I'm thinking for now get fibre glass done and then in the future when I've got 1500 spare then get a proper job done. Fibre glass should last upto winter at least....

It will be a waste of money IMO. If you thinking to do it in the futer whey you got enough money, can not see a point to throw away cas now for something, what will be removed in near future...
ludes are ment to be driven, not wanking around on a stand like a Civic.

I went to them last year. DC2s and Civics all over the place. I had a load of mechanicals and bodywork to do, including arches - and the money in the bank at the time. They didn't seem interested in the Lude.

Some really good work does come out of there, so I was disappointed. I didn't go back, though.
