I am looking at group 2 arches for my pick up. I got the somerford ones as I thought they were ok. They were for want of a better word, pants. They will be going back. Apparently they are finished and dont require painting.HHMM
Anyway recommendations please. Glossy black finish with the seam cutout. The same shape as the wing preferably and narrow as possible

Arc-angles were the ones I was going to buy when I was looking.

Yes I heard they are good. And abs motorsport. And wood and Pickett and MS. The list is endless. Bit of a minefield really.
I think the same shape as the wing(somerford really arent) and narrow are my main priorities. Paint can be applied if necessary.
Will check out the arc ones

I bought the Huddersfield mini spares ones and painted them body colour, really pleased with them.

I do try to avoid fitting wheel arch extensions whenever possible as to my mind the fewer holes you have to drill in the wheel arches the less propensity for rust to form. 

You can fit up to 4.5" wide wheels without extensions if that helps.

I have heard that there are many different qualities of the Group 2 extensions, but most need painting before fitting.

I currently have 5 x 12 minilites. They are just too wide or offset to avoid it. If I could afford to change brake sizes wheels and tyres I would but the build has gone over budget. As always so I am having to make some compromises
