Thanks but, They are jdm k11 nissan march number plate lights. And i fitted them and painted the boot lid my self. There sould be some pics of me fitting them on this thread...
I don't think the k10 version would suit the k11 as they are a bit more boxy whereas the k11 is more rounder. Thats my personal opinion though

Nothing wrong with learning to weld mateits not structural so the perfect piece to practice on
Looks like you need to get your torch a bit closer
Thanks for the advice. Just need to keep practicing now ..

Did you bin them?
How did you fill in the trim holes? Just filler them and spray over or? And where did you get the little rubber to cover up the window wiper hole?
Thanks in advance!

They're called grommets (for the window wiper)
Measure the hole and buy the right size of svrewfix or something

I know this is an old subject, but I feel I can add something useful to the repair process for the inner wheel arch as experienced by Lee in the photo above.
First thing, remove the back seat and rear seatbelt. The reason is because of the area marked by the red circle. If you weld in this area, chances are the weld may go through some seam sealer and inside the car and cause a fire. Actually, in my case, it did cause a fire. Anyway, onto the blue line marked on the photo. To save a lot of awkward welding, do a butt weld here. If you do a lap weld, you will find it a lot harder to weld as the petrol feed tube will be in the way. Actually, I removed the petrol tank and feeder tube and even then it was still hard to lap weld it. I should add, if you ever remove a seatbelt anchor bolt, never retract the seatbelt. Instead tie it to something to stop it retracting or it may never un-retract again. The other thing, place a wet towel over the weld area inside the car.
