Rear Wing – Arch repair panel
The Figaro suffers badly from rust around the rear arches. This is due to the spot welding of the sub-frame to the shell of the car. Water from the road is forced up into this area and has no way of escaping. Over time the water turns the metal to rust and bubbles appear around the paintwork.
The front arches are plastic but the rear is metal and due to the design can trap water leading to extremely bad corrosion.
We also point out in our Buyers Guide when advising on viewing the car as the cost of repair can be expensive.

The Figaro Shop
T
he Figaro Shop is one of the leading repair/restoration companies in the UK and using their knowledge have manufactured a repair panel using an original Nissan wing as a template. Hence, they are of the very best quality and fitting. There are no other arch panels available that meet the standard of these. They are manufactured exclusively for The Figaro Shop by a specialist metal former who stamps, folds, and then shapes the arches to exact molds using an English wheel. The manufacturer usually creates panel parts for classic racing Bentleys. Most other arches on the market have been hammered into a rough shape but don’t have the full curves in each direction and require a lot of rework and filling to make them fit.
The arches are sold singularly, they will need professional fitment by a body shop who can weld them into place and respray the arch. The inner arch is not included.
