Be careful about the wheel arch panels you end up buying. I don't know if it is still the case, but several years ago, the only wheel arch panels available didn't have the correct indentation detail around the lip of the opening. I ended up finding an OEM donor bed to get my arch panels off of in order to get the correct shape. Hopefully, the repop tooling for these has improved, but thought I'd just point this out.
