Wheel arch replacement

[s2ulk]

Hi all, our A2’s bodywork is pretty decent overall apart from what looks like a DIY rear driver side arch respray with no lacquer finish so it’s very dull looking. I am thinking about going down the lacquer route (and if anybody can recommend a lacquer brand, that would be great) but also considering whether a replacement arch would be better if I can find a reflex silver breaker. If I went down the replacement route, is that an easy swap?

Rear arches are easy enough for me to have replaced one before now It's a bit dirty under there but it's all just Torx screws and a few plastic push-rivets in the wheel-arch liner, so it's eminently do-able. You'll need to loosen the rear end cap off the sill (2 screws) to get at one of the arch screws.
