Hmmm, reminds me that I need to stop being in denial and have a look at the NSR on mine to see how bad it is - the fact that the last owner lived down a muddy track and hence the wheel arches were clogged with thick, wet mud doesn't bode particularly well I fear.
Like others I suspect I'm baffled why Peugeot chose not to put an arch liner on that side.

Arch liners are for losers anyway!

QFT.
Remove them and undersell. Less places for dirt etc to sit then.

Can get 5L of under-seal for a £5'er and doesn't take more then half a day over the weekend.

Exactly this.
After my arch lines made a run for it, they didn't get replaced

Yes grant.

Fiver says he rubs the flakey bits off and whacks some stickers over it

Nah, I've seen cully's car before when he's been working on it. He has good attention to detail.
Surprisingly

Give it a wipe with a cloth and see if it comes off.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread however I'm faced with the same rust problem on my Dad's 306 Estate and your rust looks very similar.
Did you weld in a panel from a scrap vehicle?
Thanks

Doubtful, probably just used 2mm (?) sheet metal cut to the right shape. Hasn't got to look pretty at the end of the day, it's all covered with trim pieces.
RE: Rust is lighter than carbon fibre..... - Danny Wideboy - 23-05-2016
2mm be far too thick. I'm not sure but I think Peugeot used 0.8mm steel.
Should still last the lifetime of the car if protected properly at 0.8.
RE: Rust is lighter than carbon fibre..... - bashbarnard - 23-05-2016
i used 2mm on all of my repairs on these as thats what i can order in cheap at work lol
