Hi,

Im new to this forum,

I drive a 1994 Corsa 1.2 Merit (Ancient I know). When the car was sold to me it was missing a panel inside my bonnet, I know that this will be a fail on my MOT instantly i am told. I have uploaded a picture and circled in red to highlight the area im missing.

I need to firstly know what it is called, find out where I can get one from if possible and find an autobody repair shop nearby that can do it.

Here it is:

If anyone can help or point me in the right direction that would be great

its the wheel arch lining and im very sure that it will not fail the mot. its only there to stop mud and that geting in to the engine bay.
ring or go to the mot place and ask them. if you do want to get one try scrap yards .

Thanks for the reply matty, I'll double check at the MOT place, the only thing that concerned me is when i took it into get a new distributor cap fitted, the mechanic was quick to point out that 'there'd be nochance that he'd pass the car because of that'. But he was the only one to pick up on it.

Thanks again
