i was wondering today about fitting disco arches and had a thought does anybody make the same shape arches that devon sell but in a flexible plastic so they can take a bit of bashing if you do hit something from the side, i know you can make the defender ones fit but in my opinion they just dont look right, so if you cant get them then why hasnt anybody done this. joe

well, trimmed defender arches do the job

I like the sound of your arched disco, do you have a photo I could look at please?

PUX · « **Reply #3 on:** December 23, 2005, 17:38:02 »

to me it makes sense to get defender arches as they are cheap and easy to replace :D and when trimmed properley look quite nice i thinks 8) thats my plan to fit some after crimbo :?

Shiny wheels or what...hmmm odesnt look good from the back > i have found the arches to be pretty strong. Im sure they will break if hit too hard but ok so far.

There is someone selling copies of the Rangie Spares/Devon 4x4 arches on E-Bay..They are MUCH cheaper and they look exactly the same.
Defender arches just don't look right on a Disco...I've seen a few and they all looked cobbled together with pop rivets and gaffer tape..

PUX · « **Reply #15 on:** December 24, 2005, 02:12:46 »

i just think that 200 pound for some fibre glass is so much when if done rite those def arches can look ok jake that pic u put up looks as though the arches have seen better days anyway :lol: but hey ho we all like diffrent things :lol: :lol: :lol: i hope u all have a good crimbo

bulli im lovin that spray job that is so cool how u do it and they are def arches yeah mate my hat goes off to ya

Bulli · « **Reply #27 on:** December 30, 2005, 11:38:22 »

Some things are not supposed to be given away...
They are the arches from Devon 4x4 who i have found to be damn good to deal with. They are reasonably tough as i scraped them yesterday whilst at an obscure angle in a washout on Chaple gate. I did remove one at kirton but that was my fault as i hadnt taken away quite enough metal!
Devon sold me one separate.
Glad you like it.... the urban disco look was cheap

PUX · « **Reply #28 on:** December 30, 2005, 11:40:05 »

is it stickers or spray paint come on do tell :lol: :lol: :lol: i have seen another type of 4x4 done wit stickers and that was good :D

Bulli · « **Reply #29 on:** December 30, 2005, 11:43:19 »

You may be onto something there...a lot of time and patience and a scalple is all thats required!
