Hello all

Does anyone have pics of clubman estates with wheel arches?

Im trying to decide what ones I want for mine, but cant imagine how they would look on the car.

Its going to be running 10x6 starmags on fiesta brakes at front, spacered drums at rear.

Thanks

thought Clubby Estates were notoriously difficult to put arches on

[Jordie]

just like any other mini i guess. Except if the arches are styled to fit around the rear valence on a saloon, that will be a problem on the estate

Am thinking W&Ps at the moment, but these have always been my favourite looking arch.

W&P are a really nice looking arch, should look brilliant against the starmags

Heres mine with group 2's over 12x5 superlites. Took a bit of trimming on rear, but not too bad to do at all.

Here's mine with group 2's from Somerfords. They needed a little sanding on the front arches to get the front of the front arches to fit the Clubman wing correctly and the rears are mounted so that the arch seam line is a bit lower than the metal seam so that the end of the arch sits on the rear valence seam.

thats excellent cheers. Still think wood and pickets win me over though for now.

[widerim_pickup]

Its not mine anymore, got rid of it ages ago, wouldn't mind finding the current owner though. Seen it in miniworld at brooklands iirc.

Anyway the group 2's are harder to fit than w+p's as they extend down around the rear valance. Heres the best pic i still have of the rear is from when i was trial fitting them.

[Jordie]

cheers. w and p's are winning me over so far. Would love to see more examples with arches tho people.

WandP's it is. Just won some on ebay for £12.50 BARGAIN!
