Afternoon all,
Im looking at changing my sportspack arches on my Mini and want to go for something a bit smaller. Does anyone have any experience with trying to put different arches on after having trimmed the front panels to suit sportspack arches and wide wheels?
At the moment I have quite a bit step change as it is a fibreglass front so im concerned I am going to end up with very limited options (or staying with big arches) without a new front end.

This is something I have always wondered because I have contemplated going to 10" but like you I have sportspack arches currently. Sorry I can't help though.

I think there is a niche in the market for someone making a narrow sportspack arch

Currently having rear holes welded up and new front wings to get away from a cheap knock-off sportspack set of arches on my car.
I did look into other options, but only similarly large arches (gp 5 etc) would cover the cut front wings and the rear mounting holes, and if I wanted 10" wheels they'd still have to be very wide to fill out the arch. Ended up wanting a more original look so bodywork was the only option.

Im welding on new quarter bottoms anyway so welding up little holes wouldnt be a problem. I can also fibreglass over the holes on the front as its a fibreglass front anyway. Paint is not a priority on my car!

I was too looking for another option, but it would be two new front wings to go back to a smaller arch. I surprised nobody offers a repair kit to return the wings to normal
You can buy a set of magnum wings and cut out what you need?
