I was seriously considering some of the ABW arches but decided otherwise. These ones I've found are much smaller and won't require the arches cutting.
Just wondered if anybody from here had used them and what they thought etc.

Hate to moan about stuff, but i bought a set of these. Fit was poor - didn't fit them in the end.

Seriously, I couldn't shut the rear doors even with these trial-fitted and there was a 20mm gap from the arch to the car
Maybe I got a bad set.
Still got them but the front 2 arches were both broken when they arrived.
