   just got myself a cheap vts and as ususal the dreaded rot has eaten the inner wing and part of the suspension turret
   where can the panels be bought or is it a case of cutting out the rust and welding new steel in

   Panels are cheap as chips from citroen tbh mate. Anywhere else will be none genuine and will take a lot of work to fit.

   never seen a turret get rusty or even the n/s wing to get a hole in it!
   
   my vts had a plate welded in under the ecu for mot that cost me pennies to do by the garage looks a bit messy as black paint as been slopped over it to protect it but the ecu covers it up thankfully

    This is why.
    
    Arch liners removed = inner wing rot.
