Rally Arches

Postby Steve-LPS-Thomas » 27 Sep 2013 19:33

The time has come to think about some bodywork on WAC this winter. I had a slight mishap resulting in the loss of one of the fibreglass rear arches. I thought this would be a good time to change from the forest arch to the deeper tarmac arch

Image

Above is existing forest arch, below the tarmac arches as supplied by Robsport.

Image

But these appear to be deeper than I want. As pic below?

Image

The ones I want are the ones below. Does anyone know who sells these in the UK?

Image

Thanks

Steve, I think the forest arches suit the car best.

Totally agree with Chris on this Steve. The forest arches suit the car.

I though Bert would have them however I was scared of the postage. There is no way I'm putting those ugly mudguards on the car so looks like it will be forest arches again.

Anyone know if these rear arches are still available and if so from where?
I have seen the forst arches as they are suplied nowadays but think they spoil the lines of the car to much.

Yah, but you would need some serious tires to fill them out.
