this is the same but with the flange cut off so they need bonding on



I'll look at the rears for the 4dr next then the bolt on style
I will be very interested in the smaller bolt on style for the 4 door any rough time scale for these???

Default Small arches

Do you still need to cut n reweld the wings as with the larger arches? The 'bolt on' look, looks meaner to me...would be interrested in a set for my 97 wagon. if spacers only were needed as new wheels are out the question I'm afraid. Current wheels, 17, 7jj, 47offset. Price?

Do you still do the bolt on ones for a classic type R, had a look on site but couldn't see any, do you do them in carbon fibre

Cheers
