Does anyone know where i can get carbon fibre miglia arches? I know customminis do group 7s but i dont really have a good idea of how they look, the pictures ive seen arent the best.

Cheers

You should only be able to get them from Curley (direct or through MiniSpeed) since Miglia arches are copyrighted by him, I believe.

Have a look at Ades minus in the project section or at www.adesmini.co.uk.

He has Curley arches, they are of a fantastic quality. He's attached them by folding strips of metal into a 90 degree angle bracket, bonding one edge to the arch and riveting the other edge to the wing. I think they look great.

If you take your time then they should be quite easy to fit yourself, however if you want them perfect, it shouldn't cost too much to have them fitted professionaly.

You may have already seen these, but they are group 7's.

I have seen these, its very hard to get a good idea of how they look becouse he tyre and arch are the same colour. Cheers anyway though

go for curley miglia's! they are of much better quality. when i was in the process of doing my mini up i bought group 7 fibreglass arches and they were utter pish and not good quality, wasn't impressed by them at all! maybe i just got a bad batch ;D . oh and they didn't even cover up the 7 by 13s that i bought either. the miglia arches are great quality though :o
