W+P arches. Yes. Not a big fan myself, as they never look 'round'...

[purple_fly06]

they have grown on me, i wasnt a fan at first but i think it suits the clubman shape.

I like those arches alot

lucky i brought them

i think im going to put on some 6x10 black ultralites and lower mine.

Thanks

You will need to cut the arches back about 20mm if you are going to lower it like the photo. Normal ride height is ok, but when I fitted coils and hi-lo`s to drop it a bit, the tyres just catch the the back of the arch on full lock.
Hope this helps

[purple_fly06]

i wont be fitting coils, but when you say 20mm, is that on the inside of the arch?

i will probably find out when it comes to fitting.

cheers

Oh and one other thing too. Getting them to fit snuggly to a clubman wing takes a bit of fiddling about with the fixing screws aswell.
Any tiny gaps can be sorted out when fitting the plastic trim around. Wood and picket recommend it is superglued into place.
This gives you the chance. Only one go though!!! Dry fitting is the trick, as always

well lets just say on my previous mini my arch fitting wasnt the best, but i know a chap who restore classics for a living. so i shall get hold of him to help me out when it comes to that.

thanks again!

Offer them up first. You will see what I mean. Get it right and I personally think they are the best looking arches about. ( my opinion only, others may have different views)

[purple_fly06]

ok, from what i have seen of them they are my favourites as well, not too big or too small. suit the car!!

[tommy boy]

Me again!
Funny what you remember about bits you fit to yer mini.
The bit of both front and rear arch where it meets the side seam will try to turn out. A screw fitted from underneath will help.
But also. if you file the arch slighty at an angle, when you fit the knock on edging strip, cut that at the same opposite angle, and it will hold the arch nicely in place.
