Got a respray booked for the 20th of Sept so need to order new arches today.
The car:



Love the wheel arches I have but can't find them anywhere and they dont want to fit any more, been twisted and refitted too many times.
Like the W&P ones and the minispeed rave ones (cheaper version!) however the ones that attach from underneath (like my current ones) are a pain.
So any suggestions? Got 12x6" wheels that stick out about 2.1/4".
Budget of around £60 and they will be painted the same colour as the car.
Cheers.

EDIT: also should add that the wings have been trimmed to accomodate the 6" wide wheels.

Yeah, they look pretty much spot on, have seen them before but you never get a good idea of how they look, especially when many products don't include pictures of the rear!

I do like the look of the first 'euro' style ones. Very nice. But again, no views from the rear.
I'd like them to come down under the rear bumper like my current ones.
Thanks for that, considering the euro ones, depends on postage cost.

Wood And Pickets!

I do like the wood and picketts but they dont come down under the bumper at the back.

The non-genuine ones you can buy which go under the rear bumper.
