Very wide "mexico" arches

Condition: new
Price: £60 plus post (£8.50)
Location:Nofolk


I recently bought a Brand new set of these from ABS Motorsport for my mini... After doing so my mate said "you shouldnt have done that I have a set of them I could have sold you!"

Anyway a spur of the moment purchase has left me with two sets.

I am keeping on and cant find any need for the second.

They have the holes drilled for the screws but other than that they are as they are supplied new. They are not painted and like any fibreglass product will need fettling and finishing before fitment and paint.

Seen here...

was he called Dirk ?

no idea

I know they are not made by the same person but the arch is pretty much the same.
I used that picture as the idea for the abs arches, to the best of my knowlege came from the ones shown. I have seen them both and I cannot see much difference at all (if any).

I have had loads of offers but I have to be brutal and say I have not placed these as an ono listing as they are not far from half price when you take VAT and delivery into account.

Its £60 plus post for a set of four as described.

Thanks for the interest
