Knowing how much the plastic is and how easy Vacuum forming is, and the more you produce, the cheaper they become, i would say that 180 is a little pricey, be careful not to price urself out of the market, even with patents. if you sold the arches untrimmed to MUDCLUB members then i am sure you would be a very popular guy. I was thinking of doing some myself at work but the bed of our former isn't big enough! Good LucK!  :lol:

Can't really see the picture mate but my screen is turned down as I have a headache.

Anyway, ther are pros and cons to both materials.  The right plastic will be cheap to make, easier for you to handle and will resist knocks and chips perhaps better than GRP, which is by comparison more expensive to make, heavier and more rigid but takes paint better in most cases and can be repaired easily with no loss of strength.  It does suffer delamination damage though from seemingly small knocks.

I'd guess from your point of view a nice black ABS would be good, flexible, cheap, shiney but utterly impossible to repair satisfactorily, which means buying another :)

[chuggaman]

We are soon going to make some really indestructible flexible ones out of High Density Polyethylene.The properties for this are better than the abs option.Along with new designs.

[Range Rover Blues]

HDPE, know it well.  You won't get paint to stick to that too well

Got to say though it's a bit daft painting plastic anyway as paint is often less flexible than the plastic and comes off again, in patches.

I'd certainly be interested in the new type.  I don't have any intention of painting them, and just need some tough wheel arches to keep me legal when I put on bigger tyres as soon as funds allow.

Please keep us posted on your progress.

Ihad a set of three door wheel arches for two years but because i do not have enough trim i ve never fitted them.

Hi I am looking around for wheelarches for 5 door mk1 disco and like your design. Could you let me know when they would be for sale and the cost. cheers abbo

[Tyke]

I'll have some of those if they're made in flexible plastic. Some of the tracks I drive have gates that you can only just squeeze through with the mirrors folded back. GRP ones wouldn't last five minutes.

As for painting them . . . . Tarts  :lol:

[barmiebrumie]

I'm going to have a set of them in the new year  :D

[SnakeLogic]

Any word on how soon these will be available?
