Hi All - I have a 2006 Viano - and have terminal rust damage to the jacking up point (front right) does anyone know a supplier for replacement body panels. I am in the North - Tadcaster, North Yorkshire to be precise. Hopefully, I will be able to buy a replacement panel and weld it in.

Thanking you in advance.

Dont know of anyone personally, but a good bodyshop/coachbuilder will know where to get replacement body panels from.

Good luck!

the reason I mention that is because I had rust on my W220 rear arches. I had them reprayed 3 years ago and within 2 years it all re appeared again (I was warned that at the time) and one garage even said they wouldnt do it as it would come back and it would make them look bad (fair play with hindsight). They would only do a metal job.

So last year thats what I done, The garage were happy to do it an got new arch panels (who knows from where - hence my post) they cut out the old arches and welded in new metal.

Lesson learned for me.
