I've been looking around at all of the different arches you can buy and ive decided i want a set of group 6's. Im just wondering if you get any instructions on how to fit them or templates on where to cut the arch with them when you buy them, im lookin at having them with a set of 7x13 alleycats and as being very new to all of this i'd be terrified to mess it up and leave myself in abit of trouble. Any help would be greatly appreciated .

Have a look at stevede's build thread on the link below. you have to cut the front of your gaurds so the wheels dont scrape.

The mini was never designed to take such big heavy wheels,with this in mind get the correct rover cutting template from minispares which will show you exactly when and where to cut,in addition although not neccessary I would ensure all your suspension components are up to the job,and consider fitting uprated dampers and hi-los all round,this will give you the maximum of options when converting to 13 inch wheels,my group 6 arches are held on with chrome self tappers on the back and nuts and bolts on the front ( due to the fibre glass flip front ),they will require minor tweeking to fit properly and you will need to cut the space required for the vertical seam finishing strips,and drill the holes for the self tappers,its all marked out so get a junior hacksaw and a fine file and you will be fine.
Use the search facility to research all of the above as there are many usefull " how to " guides on the forum
