lol probably , point of them is to cover the wheel when it sticks outside the arch so unless people want either zero suspension travel or jacked up cars the arches will have to be rolled/cut anyway

ditto,really interested but cant see how they will fit on a 4 door
my rear arches have the beginnings of rust problems any way so cutting them back isnt an issue and can put the cost saved painting the rear qtr's against these
cheers

The 4 door one's will just be cut so half is bolted to the door and half to the 1/4 . I'll post some pics of cutting the arches and fitting them if anyone's interested .

I was up at Darren's today and in truth the cutting is minimal for the extra track these will allow you to run. No need to go into the door at all. Unless you want to run 19" or 20" wheels.
Can't wait to get mine sorted.

Would it be possible to fit these to a wagon?
Also, how many hours labour do you envisage it would take to fit and blend these in including preparing/cutting the arches?
Cheers
