Rusty rear wheel arches

Hi everyone. My poor gen 2 car is suffering from rusty wheel arches. I want to bring it back to its former glory but can not source any rear arch repair panels. It looks as though some of you have had similar problems. Can anyone help with this problem? Thanks

There are no repair panels for any of the Coupes, even the Gen3/3.5 and Siii. I know the Gen3/3.5 and Siii rear arches have the same profile as a Fiat Punto front wing and you can make a repair panel from one. I would have thought the Gen 2 is very similar in profile so it would be worth maybe popping into a breakers and having a look at a Punto front wing alongside the Gen 2 arches.
