Hi everyone,

 

I suspect this is an old chestnut, but does anyone know of a supplier who either has NOS parts or is re-making Nimbus Grey Wheel arches for my '87 Mayfair, as I need a rear pair in the correct 'faded' colour.

 

I've tried all the usual, obvious  places, but truth be told, as a newbie, I suspect I'm not really in the know.

 

I realise they're made of unicorn poo, but any suggestions would be welcome.

 

Lee

Could you purchase a set of normal 'special' arches and get them sprayed.

A note of caution though, I think the holes in these later items don't match the holes in the older ones.

Cheers Mike,

 

Yes, painting them is of course an option. 

 

Truth be told, I could just manage with what I've got, as they're ok, but not perfect.  Whilst my car is pretty immaculate and very original, I thought I'd check in to see if there had been a magical (and extremely unlikely) re-appearance of Nimbus Grey trim in the interim period.

 

best regards
