Got out of the house today to see some B*****D had ripped half of my Back wheel arch off from the passengers side. Some jealous F*****s. It looks like it was snapped of as it is a clean break and not a hit with scratches.

The car looks really tatty with out it on, have reported this to the local police station but same old story there isn't much that we can do exept for us to fill out a crime report.

Feel really p****d off have to spend some hard cash to fix the car.

Can any of you guys advice me on how much it will cost to replace the rear passengers side wheel arch and respray on a blobeye sti.

Thanks

How can anyone rip a rear wheel arch off??

If it's jealousy, I can think of better things - like the spoiler, scoop, aerial, door mirrors ...

I can't really make it out from that photo .... is it some trim which runs from the rear bumper and halfway around the arch?

Surely, ripping something off like a spoiler or wing mirror would be easier?

What a thing to happen!

Pete, Yep.........it runs round the rear arch

Pretty silly thing to rip off IMHO, you'd have to bend down and get your fingers behind it. Like you say a wing mirror or something would have been easier !! The aerial would be pretty tricky as its in the rear screen demister.... LOL

AFAIK many trim Items come colour coded from the subaru factory......usually in WR Blue mica.......so a resprey might not be necessary.

Try a subaru breakers like Grade A or Scoobybits before a stealer

I suppose it would be easier to rip/break some thing else than the wheel arch but why the bloody wheel arch. The didnt rip it of completly but the wheel arch broke from the middle. The next door neighbour found the broken wheel arch down the road.

Going to start looking round the breakers for the wheel arch, found loads of side skirts but the wheelm arch is a bit more harder. Still trying to find the part but will try scoobybits and Grade A, midlife . Nice one guys.

Also thinking to upgrade my alarm with something with a proximity sensor.

I doubt very much this was a jealousy attack. More likely someone with a damaged back arch trying to get a free replacement.
