Hi,

Sorry for being such a simpleton but I have no idea what type of arches these are on my mini.

I am looking to replace them as my car was in a smash but I am trying to decide whether to replace them with the same type or a different design...what do you guys think?, any suggestions would be great, thanks.

I was thinking that they were Wood and Picketts, maybe they look slightly different because yours are the real ones

They are what used to be called Curly arches, not as in Ian Curley!
They are often called W&P extra's but in all fairness they are nothing like a real wood and picket!
My tooling wasnt replaced when it had made 1000 sets because we where down to selling only 5 sets a year, that was back in 1998!!

MWS used to sell really bad versions, dont know if they still do, or you can try ebay, as i said some people call them W&P or W&P Extra
