Glad you were pleased with the lowering results mate  It was really nice and easy, always fear the worst with older cars but so far theyve proved to be more kind to us strangely 
Bet you cant wait to get the VT kit on now

Best of luck with the progress today mate, i hope the weather is much better where you are than it is here
Had a look at the arch pic that you sent too.
So the arch bit and the flat bit go in place ok, but the bit in the middle where it changes direction seems a bit out of shape and wont hold itself in place?
Does it push in to position ok still when you hold it in place and then move back outwards when you move away?
2 options really: a new panel thats still in perfect shape (blue one shouldnt be tricky to find) or you could park the side of the car by a wall if theres somewhere handy. Put some of the sealant behind that point, then place a cloth on the panel so the paintwork doesnt get marked and then with a length of wood prop it between the panel and the wall so that it pushes the panel firmly against the car whilst the sealant sets.
After that especially if youre using tiger seal or something similar it should stick solidly in place.

Nah it doesn't push into place as it starts to crack, as someone has grinded away the concaved bit of the arch itself
i think i will just get a new rear arch, can't cost that much!

well, the vt kit is pretty much all on, side skirts tomorow and the finishing touches followed by a good clean to remove all the adhesive that decided to go everywhere 
two months ago my car was looking like this...
now more along the lines of this...
really happy so far with the vt kit, other than the odd panel not being flush with the shell... just hope everything else goes to plan.
