Sadly I don't think they exist, the MK1 repair kits have been on the go for years but I don't remember anyone don't the same for MK2's.
I'm fairly sure Mr T has discontinued the rear quarter panels so your on option may be second hand from a breaker :sad:

Hi i would re iterate Jim'is comments I sourced two rear end quarter one in Bradford & one in walsall!!! to cut out what i needed to fix a bodged reapir from a "Bodyshop"

Only advice I can give is scour breaker ads, Mr MR2 has started selling sections of breakers, not xheap now as 2 s values are increasing, and of course fewer are around now.

The only thing is finding a bodyshop skilled enough to make a section, now I did look ar MX5 repair sections with the MX5 shop that rescued mine, not 100% right but again with work & someone skilled, there may be other cars that a repai section "Could" work, with work. :-)

But again these skills have all but Disappeared.

Good luck, if a spot anything Ill pop a link on here or drop you a PM

regards Brian
