mine are group 4 (at least thats what i ordered from them) the main problem i have is where the arch meets the strip that goes between the wheel arches along the side of the car the arches touch this strip not allowing the arches to sit up against the body as i want them to do.

i know that i couls simply grind off a bit of the steel strip but is it necessary or is it just me that doesn't have them in the correct place ??

also they seem to sit quite high up on the steel wings meaning that i have alot of steel showing behind the arches are the arches meant to be cut back as the arches are meant to be used for 12" wheels and i have 10"

thanks michael
