Got a set of the Gp2 wide arches and just looking at fitting them,fronts look ok but the back ones look way too long when offered up,like when the rear of the arch is in situ,the front is halfway between the arch and door,and it seems to need an awful lot of squeezing together to even sort of line up.Is this normal or have I been sold the wrong arches?

Have you got any photo's of the problem would be a lot easier to see, they may just need a lot of tweaking.

I'll take a pic.

Does need quite a bend to make the same line as the arch, just wondered if this is the norm,and if fibreglass is that forgiving.

try having the middle a bit higher and squeeze the left hand side in a bit

I'm with Bungle on this one.

I put mine so that the lip of the arch followed the line of the original mini arch. Higher up and pulled them in.

The front of the rear arches really needed pulling in to get the shape right.

There's lots of photo's on my project page but I have maxed out my photobucket account until the 26th.

I've added a coupe below. Feel free to give me a shout if you need any meaurements etc.

Mine are Minisport group 2 wide by the way.

Ok,thanks for the comments,happier to know that they do need bending to fit the shape of the arch. Cheers.
