Paul I have always intended to do the same, when I get round to it, lol, was suposed to be doing it last week end, but the missis had other plans. I refolded the lip on the front wings when I cut a good 2" out of it for the sports pack arches. The arches now sit on the lip where they fix. Ideal for slamming the car

As well as the outer edge,i was surprised when the inner edge was joggled as opposed to butt jointed and they said if you dont have an edge joggler,just overlap slightly. On 20th Jan, 2011 apbellamy said:

I must admit Ive done it with a joggled joint as it adds a little strength.
I seriously doubt it! |

I was meaning more the just overlap it part as opposed to the joggled edge.

My only concern with overlapped joints is water and crap getting in. If your join is not 100% sealed then it will inevitably end up rusty. Wheel arches would be particularly prone to this On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

Very true, if you put the joggle to the inside of the car, seam weld under the arch, clean it up, prime and seam seal it should last years, after all the spotweld flage is a lap joint too.
