Rear arch replacement/repair

Hi Folks
I’m looking at sorting my rear arches this summer.
I have read people using VW golf mk3 panels which are cheap on ebay
Also, Volvo 440 which are a bit more expensive but nothing like as expensive as 480 panels from skandix.
Can anyone share any experience of doing this and how close a fit the alternatives are and how much doctoring is required?
Thanks

A while ago for mine mk3 ford escort arches were used - you can see the result here :- viewtopic.php?t=11097&p=112284
