Dear All

I just went and install some new sport arch on my mini. I find that it is a bit weird, that the arch are install too high or was it my wheel are too high.. Do i need to weld some of my car body to lower down everything. Please advise me before i really scold the technician.

Thankyou

arches are too high, but I can't tell quite why, are they sport packs?

[Big_Adam]

Your meant to cut for sports pack arches, aren't you?

[ginigwunkle]

can you cut the rear arches, it foes into box section of the boot.....

will do mine if theres a trick to it!

It looks like you've put them on too high.
With sportspack arches, I think the end of the rear arch should be almost touching the rear bumper. Yours almost look as if they are "squished" which makes it look higher.

Edit: Ah yes, thats it. Look in my sig - you can see that the end of the rear arch ends below therear bumper.

it looks like you have got a set of arches that are made for tubbed rear arches, have a look through the FAQ's section, there is my guide to tubbing rear arches.

It looks as though the arches themselves have been modified, when fitted sportpack arches should seal all that visible section in (the bottom of the arch should meet up with the bottom of the panel and enclose it (if that makes sense lol) it looks a bit clearer on here http://www.minispare....aspx?pid=33899
