Grp5 bullet arches from ABS are nice and should cover your wheels nicely, but I'd suggest measuring how far you wheels sit out from the body and then go from there as you wouldn't want to over or under arch your wheels unless that's the look you're after.

Im after just about covering the wheels dont want loads of arch sticking out but dont fancy getting pulled off the police for wheels sticking out

can anyone tell me or post pics of what is the difference between the geunine wood and pickett arches and the abs replica W&P ones? is it just the  1/4" width? I have new wheels (10X6 with +3 offset) on the way but want to be as flush as possible. not sure which one to go with. 

thank you

Anyone know what these are?

if you are running 10x6 then chances are a Huddersfield group 2 narrows will look nice, once mine are on ill post pic

Just test fitted my new wheels (no tires) to see what I'm working with.... They poke out about 2.75".
Any suggestions on what flare to go with.... I wanted to make my own or attempt to modify a set to be "not the norm".
So many choices!!

Which arches do i have

have just received a genuine sports pack arch from mini spares but it is a lot different from the ones already on the car when i spoke to one of the guys in mini spares

he said that the one i had ordered was an original one but mine r a black rubber type more flexible than the one received he said it must be an aftermarket set i have 

but i am having trouble tracing them

if any one would know which ones i have as i dont fancy buying a full new set at £400 if i can find the one i need

thanks in advance lee

So I've searched around a bit and haven't been able to find an exact match. My best guess is that these are a sort of Group 5 rendition, but they appear different from the various Group 5 iterations that I can find. The Bullet Group 5s have a bit more slope to them and have more of an edge to their lip. And perhaps I'm seeing things, but these appear to be slightly narrower than the Group 5s that I've found. I like the narrower width and horizontal angle of these arches.

Anyone have a guess? This Mini is located in Japan if that helps.

 

Hi Andrew

 

i believe they are a type of arch sold by turtle trading Japan. Japan seem to have arches that the uk or states dont have.
