If you were going to fit new arches would you paint them black or colour code them to the car?

 

They are going to need to be painted either way, so the only difference would be is to get the colour match.

 

Cheers

This was exactly the point I was making!

Orange arches on this setup wouldn't have looked great!

Damn...you are right  :shy:  Front should be on the back! Now that I know, I just can't leave it...

 

Now I need to repair the cuts in the arches and move them round...hopefully the holes line up  :lol:

Haha hope so! Seen it many times with W&P arches, but not with these.

Took them off and purchased myself a fiberglass repair kit. Put this on yesterday, so I'll get them rubbed down and painted over the weekend and get them on the right way... :-)
