    I need to do some bodywork on A1, rear arch front edge by the rear door of a 5 door. Can anybody advise is there an access route to work behind and straighten the outer skin or can it only be done by weld on tab pulling etc?
    For example remove trim inside car by back seat....any holes?
    Thanks if anybody has had one apart it could just save me wasting time looking.
