S7 Rear Arches To Rear Panel

[Guest a1b]

just coming up to doing the rear arches, theres a big gap between the side of the rear panel and the rear arch. Im just looking for what people have done here to get some ideas.

also if anyone can say what they did with the big space between the arch and the top of the bootspace.

 

cheers in advance!

I had to do some judicious shaping to get the rear wings to sit nicely. I used sikafles type sealant to fill the gaps to the main body.

 

I used U section to cove any nasty sharp edges and that satisfied the SVA man.

 

I used small soft rubber U section to go around the stone guards (with sealant) before I rivetted them on.

 

The infill panels were made up to fill the gaps and bolted to the flat face inside the boot area. I will be the first to accept that my forte does not lie in makng aparticularly neat job of the finishing - I am in too much of a rush to get driving

 

 

Hopefully the pics show it better than words.

My rear arch stone guards fitted across the arch to the body side, they have a 1" lip that bolts to the body side pulling the wing to the body and covering any gaps.

This is on an S3a
