black plastic guttering. can be heated and flattened, cut and shaped and reheated into desired curves and fixed into place in addition to standard arch.

fezzy192:

V8MoneyPit:
Wheels protruding from the arch is not an MOT failure. It is, however, in contravention of the Construction and Use Act.

I went to the local truck body builders and bought a lenght of 5" wide rubber that they use to cover the slider's on curtain side'd lorries!!

Cut what i needed & use'd self tapping 10mm bolts to fix it to the arech lip useing the existing holes. Worked a treat! Cost me £40 as opposed to over £200 :dance:

KK Mobile:
Here's some pics as requested by Steve Shep!!











And even after i caved the front wing in the new arches stayed there :doh:
