Searched but cannot find much.

I have a 2 piece carbon firbe remoable front end and was wondering if anyone has made or brought any thing to act as an arch liner to stop muck, salty water etc front the wheels getting into the engine bay, also thinking i don't have much to protect the rad either apart from better air flow!

Ideas or photos of what people have done if its been done somewhere please.

can you refit the inner wings ?

There are arch liners for the original front end, I would think they could be adapted.

Or maybe - http://www.ebay.co.u...=item3cc65a332b

How about making some perspex shields that mimic the shape of the original inner wings? Perhaps they could be affixed to your brace bars and made easily removable for access.
Or even buy some inner wings and make them bolt on and off?

The old front end is long gone. I think i'm gonna have to make something somehow. I've looked at the arch liners for standard front end and they seem a little flimse. I only have brace bars to fit too really and the rest of the inner arch from just in front of the damper mounting. I'm surprised i cannot find something thats been done before. Tough one.

I havent bothered on mine and it doesnt get too mucky really. But i dont drive it in really bad conditions. However it gets driven in the wet on occasion and its really not that bad.

The arch liners I've got certainly aren't flimsy. Pretty tough plastic. These are the ones from Derricks Mini Centre.
Most of the mounting is done by it being held in place by the arch, I've got the standard black plastic arches, which the liners fit really well with, might not work so well with other arches though.
