    From the little that can be seen from the picture, I'd be thinking it's still full of fillers.

    Get a magnet and see if it sticks evenly all over the area.

    There's just one blemish in the line of the curve of the wheel arch that doesn't look quite right.

    I might be wrong but from 1 o clock position to 3 o clock position, it doesn't look to be 100 percent - overly rounded and just looks heavily filled

    Yeah, good job... I would not notice it afterwards. North Kildare based.. so prices should be much the same as in town.

    Looking for someone to do a similar, smaller job around north kildare. Would appreciate pm of contact details.

    Fair play to Belgard for fixing it but why exactly did they fix it for nothing? A good result tho

    I think so too. The lines on the filler cap don't match up with the lines on the quarter panel and the arch looks off too.

    The fuel filler cover crease didn't 'line up' before the repair, so I'm not sure why it would after. It also doesn't line up on the first page of Fluences a google image search threw up, nor in this video of one https://youtu.be/_7ZJJcCukw0?t=17s

    The arch doesn't look off, it's just an unfortunate shape that blends into the lower rear door and sill strangely - again, as can be seen by an image search or the above video.

    I have no idea of the quality of repair, but the pictures of the repair make it look as good as new compared to pictures of actual new Fluences.

    It had previously been damaged which I wasn't made aware of when I bought it.

    But did you try a magnet on the area after the repair?

    To be honest the rear 1/4 was never going to be cut out and replaced and the repair looks very good! Filler or not I think the OP has done well and should be pleased
