I agree, i think the solution if you want this kind of look is remove the plastics on the arches have them pulled slightly and then any holed welded up and smoothed. But even then the whole panel needs to resprayed, all in would cost a couple of grand around the whole car.

Was surprised the revere car hadn't done this but only sprayed plastics.

The other issue with having them sprayed white is that as soon as a few stone chips appear or the paint starts to get brittle with age and cracks the car will look awful.

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.
