My exhaust had a break near the back box back in January. It was a clean break and they were able to weld it easily enough.

Car went through the NCT first time last week with no problems at all.

Not sure about the wheel arches im afraid.

Just needs to be done properly. No certs required.

It also doesn't have to look pretty , in fact the nct like to see welds rather than filler.
