evening all,

im going to buy some new arches to replace my sports pack that are currently covering 13"-7" wheels. but i would

like something a little different on my car. but having problems finding anything i can buy that you dont see on

every other mini on the road.

i would be keen to find out where Zcar's get there arches or if anyone has or knows of someone with some slightly

different wide arches. or if you have some supper cool wide arches on your car, post a picture and show off your filthy

wide mini :lol:

miglias all the way dude! If you want wide, thats the way to go! bit of a pain to fit but way worth it. Plus you can trim miglias to make them your prefered width. I got mine done professionaly because I was too much of a girl to touch them :lol:

They are from huddersfield , were fitted in a body shop and colour matched.
They have been bonded to the mounting brackets so you cant see any attachment marks .
most miglias have the rear wrap cut away , i was after a unique look so wanted to keep them

so if i got some from huddersfield they would have that rap around ? or do you have to tell them that you that you would like to keep that feature?
