An areal component arrangement 1 for a vehicle body comprises a preferably lightweight areal component 2 with an initial thickness S1, for example between 0.50 mm and 1.50 mm and a sandwich structure comprising a metallic top layer 3, a metallic bottom layer 5 and a non-metallic, preferably plastic, core layer 4. A section 6 of component 2 is surrounded by and spaced from outer edges 7 of component 2 and has a reduced thickness S2 lower than S1, for example between 0.30 mm and 0.90 mm. Metallic layers 3, 5 preferably contact each other in section 6, and core layer 4 may be displaced from section 6 during forming. Areal component arrangement 1 comprises a preferably metallic welding partner 8 welded to component 2 in section 6, preferably by a resistance spot weld (9, Figure 2). Component 2 may be formed by deep-drawing.
