Its one of these.

you will have to forgive me as I'm not fully up with the lingo or history if the car

Yes the rear quarters sounds right. its the one opposite the fuel cap

I don't think the rear quarter panel is bolt-on is it? This would mean a body shop job I think, but I may be wrong   :-/

Also, excuse me for highjacking this thread, but a question for mark mv6. Mark, could you please tell me if I need to do any special preparation work on my plastic LPG filler before painting it the same colour as the car? It's flippin' cheeky, I know, but if you don't ask?

Yep,just plastic prime it first,or the paint will flake off,hope this is what you meant phil.

Not a bolt on job,you will need to get handy with the welder or otherwise a job for the pros mate,but then again you will be surprised what they can repair today,seen my mate repair some right states.

[Rytimk]

I just know it as plastic primer phil,you can just get an aerosol if its just for a filler cap,but make sure its fully degreased first,shouldent really need to tell you that,as its obvious anyway.

To put this thread back on topic....

No, that panel is a complete PITA to take off. Can you email or post a pic of the damaged panel? It's been a long time but I used to be fairly handy with a set of dolly's

EDIT: If it is really bad I can get a genuine Vx replacement panel for around £100. Easily take a day to fit it though.

I did apologise to Rytimk for hijacking his thread, & I don't think he took offence

No bum smacking involved (unless you like that ), simply answering the original posters question
