Like the look of the rave arches, really looking into buying a set but would like to know if they wrap around under the rear bumper like the midland ones, or whether they stop just short like W&P ones?
Anyone know?
Cheers

Does anyone have any better pics of group 5's? fitting them to my mini and they just dont look right but could do with some pics to confirm.

Does anybody have any pictures that could help me decide who makes the best pattern Sports pack arches?

I need to replace mine because they are a bit chewed up and don't fit very well. Don't know what make they are - came with the car.

Had a look at Uttoxeter today and saw two different sets on offer (there were three but I can't remember third).

Huddersfield - fibreglass - didn't like them but could see that they could probably be made to fit quite well because they are so stiff - e.g body filler can be used.

Minisport - they had some floppy plastic ones - £59. They looked ok - but I don't want to waste £59 if I find that they don't fit or they "buckle" near the fasteners.

The thidr set might have been old school mini's - not sure.

Anyway I would'nt mind trying to get some at Stamford next week.

Thanks

Steve

don't think anyone does metal arches anymore. its all fibreglass or plastic. might be wrong but never seen any for years and years

Standard Australian Mini arches. They are similar to group 2 arches with a lip for teh sill trim but are fixed onto the original wing lip.



Replicas are avaliable from Australia but are expensive.

this is a bit of a late reply so may no longer be any use to you mattsbmw, but someone might find it useful?

I have the alumminium Arches and sills on a Mini Neon, but ideally i'd want to get wider arches (possibly miglia ones i have seen on ebay) but the problem is the cost of the wheels and which wheels will fit... any recommendations?
Thanks
