Hi Chris that's my original thought, but didnt know whether same colour as body. I've looked at lots colour coded.

I always think big arches look better body coloured as they’re “obvious” enough already. That’s my personal opinion though.
So I’d go Black for small arches. Grey for big miglia-sized arches.
i have to oppose that notion.
i work in a design firm and have had this conversation with many designers(automotive and product) about what colour arches on a mini should be (in my case, on my mini...)
The general tendancy was always go towards black in a "retro" or old classic car. The reason for this is that by colouring your arches body colour, you are "faking" the slim, clean look of a classic. By painting the arches black, you keep the original asthetic of the slimmed down car but give it that extra something - that extra grunt/bad boy look.
Painting your arches body colour makes it look as though the car was "built that way" when it came out the factory, and that makes the car look more modern.
Just compare a red mini with sportspack arches vs one with some gorup 2/5s in black. The sportsback looks like it was made in a completely different era - although they are almost identical.
Just my 2c
