All this panel does is join up to make a wheel well.
A mechanic I met said "...No worries, it's just superficial; doesn't affect integrity or safety..."
and then I have people at SuperCheap Auto saying it will fail for sure
and recommended I fix it with body filler.
I have a rego inspection TOMORROW at 1pm.
PLEASE RESPOND ASAP, if you know anything about WA inspections.
I already cancelled one inspection last week
because this same mechanic who looked at my quarter-panel
said that my tires stick out too far (thanks to aftermarket rims)
and I'd need fender flares.
![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif)
I just installed the flares after many hours of mucking around with crappy self-tapping screws.
My flares look great... too bad it didn't already come with them.
I will cancel tomorrow's appointment to save the $90 inspection fee,
if a disintegrating bottom front quarter panel will fail.
Thanks
