Does any one on here work at one?

I'm stuggling to try and find some new rear quaters for my seat ibiza as they have sadly gone and to late to save them.

But really can't find any. Who do you guys get your panels from or is it going to be a custom job?

It's a 99-01 ibiza

Cheers

by the big field

if you get no luck, try Radford Panel Company in Warwickshire- mainly cater for classic cars but they do stock (or even hand make to order) panels for other cars

Try Matchapart they generally have a good selection of panels. You could also join an owners forum/Facebook page. Rotten rear quarters are a common issue on the Ibiza so they should be readily available.

You would think so can get them for the newer shape ones but not the older. It's is quite annoying.

Will have a look at that site now here's guys

Cheapest option would be wait till you find someone breaking the same model that you have.

Alternatively post on some of the car groups on Facebook there is a huuuge amount of knowledge on there from people

Only problem with some one breaking one if they cut then out there could still be rusty.

Just amazed I can find them for every car but mine. I use to work in a body shop years ago but can't think who Ower suppler of parts was.

. Hi. As you said you used to work in a body shop and cannot get the quality that you require at a scrapyard , how about just scrapping the car and buying another cheap one .

Because there is only 500 of my car left and I don't wish just to scrap it. Problem with he world these days we throw anything away when it needs work doing.

There's only 248 models (at the most) left of my old Peugeot, glad to see the back of it!

Don't hold onto something if it's just going to burn a hole in your pocket.
