nice. do you think i should keep the arches the same colour as the car ( my car is OEW) or go black lol i cant decide and i keep changing my mind so need help.

The group 5 arches with the stip are the same width as group 2 wides arent they. are there any other arches that are as wide available

sorry for loads of questions but u no what its like lol

mrs bungles mini is arun white with black arches and roof



your going to need to get your wheels first then measure how wide the arches need to be as most wheels have different off sets

I've currently got 12x6 Revolution RFX wheels with the standard arches. Mine stick out about 5-10mm beyond the arches. Got through the MOT without any problem, but I noticed while driving in the rain today that when you turn the wheels the spray goes everywhere!! Looks good though, nice stance on the road.

From memory, GP2s with the chrome strip are the same width as the standard plastic arches, so if you want to be sure of covering all your rubber you're better off getting GP5s. But as bungle said, different wheels have different offsets - you might be ok with GP2s, but you're not going to know for sure until you fit them I'm afraid.

And here's mine with 12x6" Minilights and some odd gp5's that had to be modified to fit.
