anyone know if the abs motorsport sportspack smooth arches are any good? fit? quality? etc

also do they fit through the standard sportpack arch mounting holes?

well i can say for sure, delivery was quick, they've already turned up :proud:

and for anyone wondering, no they dont line up with original holes, but the quality of the fibreglass is good and the fit seems pretty spot on just after holding them up, pretty sure after minor sanding they'll be spot on

Thanks for letting us know. I was hoping you'd post back. Also watching your build thread.

no problem, forum is here for all to learn and share :D

havent posted up in the project thread yet but gave one of the rear arches a try today, good fit but the holes were a PITA to drill in the right place, trial and error, but i had the welder to hand in case of mistakes, luckily most were spot on and a quick file, perfect

i'll post up full details and pics in the project thread sometime over the weekend

Would these fit on a van? Or is the rear quarterpanel a different curvature?

they are stated on their site as fitting vans, but probably as good as they fit saloons lol, the front ones are leaving alot to be desired, completely off around the front panel, no way of trimming to fit because of the return lip, im having to just cut them short and restyle it slightly

blanking mine off for the smooth look :mrcool:
