Might be a long shot...but does anyone have a photo of a Mini with Wood and Pickett arches with either 12x5 or 12x6 wheels?

Wood and Picket with 5x12 Superlights and 165/60 12 tyres.

Damit, every time I make my mind up ya'll go and post another sweet mini picture. Now I'm back to liking the Picketts over the Sportpack. LOL I have stock 6x10's and Alleycat Style 6x13's and have been racking my brain over which arch I like better. I want something that will go well with both. Will Picketts fit a 6x13 under them?

Uhg...my brain hurts.

does anyone know if you have to modify your front wings.. cut them when you put mini Miglia Race Wheel Arches on with 6x12? and would i need spacers to fill them out?

Thanks, Matt

but id like the group 2 wide arches, would these wheels fill them?

Pics if youve got them too :)

Edit: where is the best place to get these arches from, as i may look into spacing the wheels out if needed?

Thanks again

Can anyone identify the arches in these photos? Information on where to purchase would be appreciated as well. They look similar to the Australian standard arches mentioned earlier in this thread:

Yep those are Australian Cooper Arches, slightly different to the ones on the Aussie Clubman.

Here's an Aussie Mk2 Cooper that I spotted at Gaydon last year with the arches.





They are avaliable from MiniSport Australia, but are very expensive.

and here's the fitting kit

I don't know of anyone in the UK that makes them. If you are good at modding fibreglass I would think it would be possible to moddify a set of Group 2 arches to get that look.

[Joe250]

Thanks for the quick and thorough response! Those look great on the red Cooper. Much appreciated.

Hi everyone, can you give me a hand in identiying these arches? The are fitted to a mini i'm restoring but its missing one. I'd like to replace them and get them sprayed







thanks in advance

plastic W&P, often called montecarlo arches

[CBJ805T]

thanks, have you got any experience of these or would you recommend a similar alternative?

[Body stylist]

They are ok, more 'chunky' than original W&P but very easy to fit.
