:D didn't it occur that there might be something wrong with YOU rather than the arches if only one of four didn't fit? :( :-

Also you need to check that there were four diferant arches in the set , I have seen boxes with two the same ( IE only three differant arches) and someone taking ages trying to get the odd one to fit

I modified some sports pack arches for my clubman estate, I filled the spot in the front and built up fiberglass to match the clubman front end, on the rear, i cut off the nub for the bumper and fiberglassed it. Turned out pretty good!
