Extended wheel arch question..

(1/6) > >>

andrew2986:
Am in the middle of fitting a set of extended wheel arches to my 5 door disco, (well quarter of the way through actually just finnished the N/S front.
I have a question for those of you that have fitted these before, what do you do with the inner wheel linner ? I was thinking of leaving it off as it would make cleaning under the arches easier what do you think???
mine is an XS model and has the fat side trim which has made it a bit of a job as ive had to trim the arch to fit over the side trim.
plus, ive had to trim back the rock sliders and the trailing edge of the bumper (H/D winch type) as they both protruded past the arches.....oh poo nothing is easy..will get the hole in the leading edge of the sliders welded up tomorrow.

oh and talking of welding now ive taken the linner out I can see that pretty soon Iwill have to do some welding on the N/S inner wing rats rats rats, I will put it on the to do list.....

right its just stopped raining so might tackle the other side, then only the rears to do !!!!

i just left mine out and welded up the holes i found one of which was under the wiring loom!

andrew2986:
Yea thats what i thought i would do, by the state of my inner sills looks like im going to buy a mig welder and start learning ???

Ive done both fronts and one of the rears, my god the doors were a pain to do....
