Wings and Arches? Fibreglass?

Afternoon Guys,

Looking for someone with some knowledge to help me on the best thing to do with my arches. Also ignore that the car is due a proper detail/wash lol, that's getting done tomorrow.

Got some photos of my arches below first one has been repaired/patched not a cut/weld job.

Wondering if anyones used or had experience with this company for front wings? One of mines started to rot, the others started to crack and think I'll get both sorted:

To go alongside this I'm wondering if it's just worth getting some fibreglass arches to prevent any further rusting in the future?

You won't find much help here for this kind of issue: I've got the same problem and did a post months ago but zero answer. About the fiberglass I fully agree but aftermarket metal ones can also be good if you spray Dinitrol on the back before installing them. For 35 GBP honestly I wouldn't expect them to fit perfectly but may be worth to try, if they don't fit you're not gonna lose much money anyway. It's more complicated with the rear ones because the OEM spares cost really stupid money (for that amount I'd go for the carbon fiber). I was considering this:

that's the only fiberglass rear ones I found, but don't expect the garage to install them: I think that these guys just want to sell the stuff. Officially they do also the installation but when I asked about that they began to find excuses.
