This meant that my arches were painted to the car, even the screws holding them on had been painted over.
I didn't like red arches, I wanted them black so I used a scalpel to carefully cut the paint joint between the car and arches. That went pretty well and I got them off quite easily. I rubbed them down, sprayed them black, put on some chrome arch trim and put them back on. They looked top dollar.
Anyhow, I then later had some suspension issues and subsiquently one of my arches got smacked off by the wheel and half destroyed.
In addition, the nearside front arch was a bit scratched so I really needed to replace the whole lot.
I bought some new group 2 arches from a guy on here, got them and they are brill, except... They are not as tall as my old arches, the width is the same but they dont go up the wings as much.
This now means that I will have Ford Radiant Red, then a ridge where it joins a band of dirty Maroon paint, then the black arches.
Bugger.
What do I do?

edit: AND my 1275 GT door stripes just stop and there is now a gap between the arch. I do have some spare ones but I was saving them for something else. Hmmn!
