Panel bonding

if you are referring to the use of adhesives instead of spot or arc welding, this is true including here in the states. it is actually a superior repair for a couple of reasons not the least of which is that you are not introducing the high heat that burns off coatings and makes the repair areas more likely to rust. in general, metals exposed to welding require chemical treatments to be finished which is out of the scope of most repair facilities. the bonded seams are actually stronger than the panels themselves. new vehicles are often built this way at the factory.

definitely an advancement in adhesive tech. good welding is always a gamble as custom work is not factory engineered. it relies more on the experience of the person doing the work. i personally would always chose bonding over welding for your type of repair.

No cynicism, just slight scepticism. I am pretty sure the that inner and outer wings are bonded together without any spot welds from the factory.
Anyway I am very interested as I will need to do work on my rear arches at some point and want to gather as much info as possible. If you can get lots of pictures of the process that would be great.
Where did you get your arches from?
