wheel arch trim

[oldredpolo1990]

i have a 1990 saloon and the nearside forward black plastic wheel arch trim has come away from the metal and distorted in the process. anyone any idea where i can get hold of one please? thanks

How distorted is it? These are quite easily repaired and/or reshaped with a heatgun carefully

well its bowing out from the bodywork at the top of the arch maybe 5mm. how would you reshape it?

Can you pop a photo up?

Last time i did this you remove it from the body work, then use a heatgun and a rag to gently heat the plastic up so you can flex it back into shape

mite be a few days before i can get a photo its stored elsewhere. if you take it off though how do you know what shape to restore it to

[alexperkins]

It's a flat trim when removed with a curve on the middle

I've got a few photos of how it should look when correct
