Default Rear wheel arch repair panels

I asked this in the x308 forum since there was already a thread there, but I'll ask here, too.

Any place in the US to get x300 rear wheel arch repair panels? I don't think I'd do well trying to hammer out my own. IThe post on the X308 board links to a UK supplier.

I'm in no hurry to actually start cutting, but I'd like to have them on hand when the mood strikes.

On a different note, I saw that the same panels can be used on the xj40 once the part that goes under the bumper skin is removed. Knowing this, I'm wondering if the xj40 front wheelarches are the same shape as the x300. I'd like to get a set of the stainless trim pieces and wonder if the xj40's will fit teh x300. (I know, don't do it, but now that I own it, it will be a garage kept, fair-weather car)

Thanks!!

What do you mean when you say "repair panels"? Do you mean the quarter panel or the inner wheel well? Or are you speaking about wheel opening chrome molding?

I've not seen this. Is it a like a polyurethane overlay that goes over the wheel opening? Tried to get info from the site you listed but none that I could find.

it's a steel stamping. You cut out the old rotted metal, and weld this in place.
