Default can I cut rear panels

After my last outing I have bashed up the very bottom of my rear quarter panels I thought about choping them off under the trim panel can this be done without leaving them flaping in the breeze

YES you can!! Put a sill plate under the bottom when done also. I eventually did that when I had the wheel carrier on the back.

Thanks Glenn! That was before the rear bar was refitted, and then the bottom was plated with 4mm steel so yeah its messy when its not finished. Have plans to redo this mod on the new Rescue Cherro.
