Wheel arch liner....?


The ones from mini spares (originally Derek's Minis)
http://www.minispare...|Back to search

Protects the under the wing :)

 

Good idea, but a bit of a price for a couple of pieces of plastic....

A lot cheaper than a front end rebuild :) however I know that some have modified other car liners to fit!

A front end rebuild might be on the cards in the summer for my motor but I see your point :)

I would definitely price in a set for when you are done - keep all the shiny new metal nice and protected!

I know minispares site says not for MPI cars, but says they will clear carbon canisters etc. So what's the issue, anyone got first hand experience ??

I think it's the extra fan, you have to cut to fit I believe

Sadly nothing today. I've been sorting a wiring issue on my wife's BMW 325i B90 which had lost its earth reference on the inner left rear lights. Then I did a bit of routine maintenance on my Land-Rover Discovery; adjusted the doors, checked all fluids, pumped up the tyres and loaded my welding kit in it for lending to my son tomorrow. Then I washed my own BMW 730 (that's a big car to clean!). Finally tidied up the workshop a bit. It's blooming cold out there today as well.

Bought me some 13x6 revolution rims and tires. Don't collect them till next weekend but..... Fitted some rear camber/caster brackets, and new minifin drums too.
Fitted a moulded carpet set with dynamat and underlay.
Sprayed my brown rear seat black with a vinyl dye, worked a treat....better then expected.😎
