Evening all,

 

Being an absolute novice with minis, I bought a set of sportspack arches (cheap, mind!) a while ago. Today i decided to remove the standard arches that are on my project and see how the sportspack ones would look with my 5x12 Superlites. I finally realised what everyone means when they say that the wings need cutting . Oh well, you learn by your mistakes, eh!?

 

I dont really want to cut my wings and I've lost my taste for the sportspack arches now, so my question is; What arches fit straight on without cutting anything and look good with 5x12 wheels?

 

Any pictures would be ideal too so i can get a good idea of how they look.

 

Thanks!

Standard rover as fitted here on my 1275 here


Or these, as fitted on my dads 998 , in my avatar pic.. These cars both have 6x12 wheels..

Group 2 arches are a favourite, and the same goes for W&P arches, however they are much harder to fit

I believe i have group 2s on the 998 in my pic...

I did think about the Group 2s, but im not keen on the part that sticks out for the trim to fit onto. If i could get the same size without that "rib" id be happy! lol. I like the W&P arches, but again, i dont want to mess about too much. Any other ideas?

You can cut that part off easily, they are only fibreglass
