Fitting classic arch flares, easy?
 

Im thinking about getting some abw arch flares for my 4 door classic later on this year, and was wondering if anyone has any useful information, step by step pictures, or general advice that would be helpful

Thanks in advance

Steve

i had a brief look into it, looks like you mark where they are going to sit, cut the arches out, weld up the new cuts then bolt on the new arches

Yeah, ive been looking into it for a while and in theory it sounds quite easy. I just wanted to hear from poeple that have actually done it that can offer any advice or show any pictures they took of the process

NO ITS NOT EASY

didnt mean to shout caps lock on lol

i fitted the slimline bond on ones so was alot harder because the moulded edges were a bit dodgy.

the other bit is once you cut into it is sorting out the rust you might be horribly surprised

Nobody?

Like to see a pic of what u going for . & how far did you get.

I started to look at fitting mine last night.
They are a crap fit and I can't even figure out which way they need to go!

Any guidance would be appreciated

Im sure ABW do a supplied and fit, then its done properly

Yeah they may well do, but that is hundreds of miles away, to be honest a set of bolt on arch extensions should fit without any problems....

Put a pic up on the bit you are geting stuck on . Plus I would like to see how things are going with it mate .
Am sure someone on this site can help just got to give it time , or put a link up asking . You no the web site well and got a lot of members that will help its just getting the info to the right member . Would like to see some pic on how it's all going . As I am sure you have been taking pics bit by bit . I no I would taking on a job like that . You can do mine after lol . :wonder:
