I can't decide which arches to fit on my clubby. I dunno if I should get a new set of group 2 wide arches and have those again or fit some wood and picket ones.

 

Here my clubby with the group 2 wides.

But `i have always like the W&Ps too, I bought a set a while back as a test fit.

This clubby i have seen at shows before and always thought it looked good with W&P.

Those above pics are not mine either so credit to the photographer! 

 

I really can't decide though. What ever ones I go with will be painted body colour and not black.

 

Peoples thoughts?

What style are you going for with the clubby?

Personally I like both, if you were gunna give it a tidy up and keep it retro and simple, I would say W&P's but if you were keeping the pink wheels and the random bits a bobs that make it unique then I would say the group twos would look more at home.

But either will be a good choice imo

I would stick with the group 2's the w+p's don't look right on your clubby.

I agree that the style of your clubby with the pink wheels etc looks better with the arches you have at the moment, although both look good :)

Cheers guys. Yea I'm sticking with the same parts just getting the accident damage sorted and getting some rust cut out. Only major difference will be the mk1 boot and US spec tail lights. Think you have convinced me to get the group 2 arches again!

Cheers everyone!

I am contemplating selling them on once I have my exaction splits done, but I haven't made up my mind yet as I do like these a lot! Will give you first refusal if I choose to sell them on :)
