wheel arch flare
Hi all,
I went on a off road trip and ripped off my D4 left rear wheel arch. I think it's not repearable any more because the mounting points are broken.
The weel arch at the rear consist of two pieces: a front half arch and a back half arch. It's the back half arch which is broken and it's painted in the body color.
Does anybody know where i can find a replacement and what the LR item number is? I search the internet and still don't find anything for a D4 of 2010
Thanks a lot for your help;)

It's a Discovery 4 HSE from 2010 with a 3.0l diesel engine of 245pk. It's grey metalic and a left hand drive.
Thx

stupid question
if only the mount points broken, does the piece need to be removable??
why can't it be stuck on with super super strong glue??

I went to a local land rover dealer and asked for a new wheel arc. It seems you can ordered it for some 55 euro without tax but than it's unpainted. To have it painted in the right color it totally cost about some 120 euro. Because the original one has ripped off mounting points and i didn't find a replacement wheel arc on the internet, I ordered the new one.
At the moment I re-attached the wheel arc : I got some new clips in the bodywork and pushed the wheel arc on it. With some tape I fixed it into the wheel opening: at the inner circle off the arc you have normally 90 degree bended plastic pieces to attached it also inside the wheel opening but those are gone
