i have 6x12's and works type downton GP5 arches

[NunoGT]

They sure look good from this view!!

Any chance I can see a front/side and a rear view?

Are those arches still avaliable to buy?

Hi!

Thanks for your advice.

I do like those Euro 5 arches though they are in fact too wide for my Cosmic.

I guess I´ll stick with the Group 2 classic ones.

Just one detail, was the back arch cut to fit the pick-up?

For saloon models should't it follow down to the rear valance?
Just like the normal rover arches for minis of '82 on.

Thanks,

Nuno

The original group 2 arches all stoped at the bumper line, the group 2 wide (same as downton - there both replica's of some japanese ones) go around the rear valance, and do look 100% better

they are only 10mm wider so will look ok

It looks great, congratz on your car.
It does look better and seems like the arches are part of the car.



Body Stylist, thanks for your info & advice. I´ve made up my mind.

cause i still got drum, does this mean i need different width arches to fit tha 10"x6" compared to minis with discs

do i need spacers... if so do they cause damage

mrs bungle has 6x10's and uses GP 2 works type arches :cheese:

Yeah, I´m in for the Grp2 wide.

Womad, with normal drums the wheels stick out less that with disks and spaced drums at the rear.
You´ll need spacers anyway to keep the wheels from touching the shocks.
This means that normal arches (Like Rover ones from 82 on) with fit great on your wheels. Wider than that you´ll need wider spacers.
And yes, larger spacers increase stress on bearings and some more transmission components.
