[mkII] Removing wheel well liners...

[amalventano1@comcast.net (Allyn)]

Josh,
    The rieger doesnt have these liners (go figure), and has been that way since 1995. The internals
are still fine, no sign of rust, etc. Keep in mind this is a southeastern car. I would recomment
spraying the area with undercoating type paint.
