Hi, this is gonna sound like a real newby question, but is there a guide to modifying the front arches to fit 13in wheels?
I've been looking everywhere but cant find anything that gives enough detail to make me feel confident about cutting bit of the front of my car.

Or, Has anyone got any hints or tips?

When i bought my car, it had 13" on it, and obviously the arches were cut, i don't know any dimensions or anything but it didn't look PERFECTLY neat, and i've never seen anyones perfect, so thats the only thing i can say, as 99% of the time if you got 13 inch wheels, you're going to have wide arches on, so it gets covered up anyway, just remember, the value of your mini will probably drop, as standard minis go for more, and if you put 13 inches on, to convert back to 10 inch, the buyer would need to replace both arches, and probably the brakes

if you're fitting sportspack arches, theres a free fitting template you can download and print out on the minisport website
