Honda Prelude UK

According to my local car repairer and paint spayer he can't get hold of any pattern rear wheel arches for the Honda prelude. To do the rear wheel arches properly he advices fitting new rear quarter panels. Each side including spraying would cost about £1100. Does anyone know where I could get some from.
Surely the rust can be sorted out for a lot less than that.

Your body repair place could weld in new metal and that would do the job nicely if they're good enough . The rear quarter panels themselves come from Honda only and there isn't another company making them

Find a Prelude with perfect arches that's being broken for parts and cut the arches out with a disk cutter.

Sorry Jozefan if you go to Honda Uk for the parts it genuinely does come to a horrific amount of money.. the four arches needed to make the rear nice and healthy again come to about £350 each! before paint (there are inner and outer arches)
