Woo back on-line.
Evening all,
Looking at fitting some flexi arches to my 5dr disco when I can afford them to stop my doors and arches chewing my tyres to pieces. I've had a look on the workshop articles but its the only one that the pictures aren't working :cry:, and from memory it was a good write up. Anybody have a few pictures of what goes on just to give me some idea of what I'm letting myself in for.

Thanks in advance

John

pretty straight forward mate done mine in half a day just get someone to hold arch in place till looks right then mark it and cut just inside the line only thing with a 5dr is the double skin on the rear doors i did mine with andgle grinder

landroverkeith:
 :evil:  Did mine over a weekend at BigA`s with Frankieboy

well I should say BigA did while I cringed in the background lol

front wings really easy as mentioned just hold up and mark where to cut, but when we got to the back doors omg at one point I thought I was going to have buy 2 new doors lol that much cutting and fiddling about chucked the instructions in the bin tbh.

Also all cut with a angel grinder and Im sure if you ask BigA can provide pics of the burns on his leg from the small fire that took part on his trouser leg  :lipsrsealed:

The Finished Look I do think is pretty Good though

Well I've ordered some...... will wait and see. I prefer eugene's answer, might do the fronts and then pluck up the courage to do the rears  :wink:

lee celtic:
I didn't have anyone to help me...... :sad:

so I stuck them on with double sided tape first to draw round them... :grin:

I also left the rear arch in one piece until all the holes were marked before cutting the arch where the door meets the wing..

(mine came in one piece that I cut myself)
