Hi All,

Hoping someone can help as I've searched on this forum but not found any threads on genuine Sportspack Wheel Arch identification.

The Mini I brought a few years back came fitted with Sportspack arches and I decided not reuse them as I didn't want to go for the big arch look.

Now looking to sell them but I have no idea if they are genuine or not. All I know is they are studded, feel slightly more flexible than just a plastic arch and there is no part numbers moulded on any of them - this makes me suspect they are aftermarket.

Does anyone know how to identify genuine and non genuine sportspack arches?

Cheers,

My apologies if this is posted in the wrong section, having taken another look this probs comes under "Styling" more than anything else.

Cheers,

Thank you for this, much appreciated. Not sure why it didn't appear on my search results but I only use Google as I've found it better to use.

That does answer my question though, non genuine they are and not worth all that much!

Still better than fibreglass ones though so I'm sure you will still get reasonable money
