What do you mean by wheel arches, John? The moggie doesn't really have wheel arches in the typical sense as they are part of the whole wing which easily (!) bolts on..... ?

Do you mean plastic inserts to protect the inside of the wings from road grime?

Have you tried posting in the Custom & Modified section as I think what you're after is the enlarged rear wings like a few of those cars have.

Well - just buy the big Mini ones intended for 13" wheels !
Minispares probably best bet.

Hi,
Do what I did and use trailer wings (one cut in half in fact) and weld it onto the existing wing with suitable clearance (obviously!)
Mine look very similar to the Mini ones in your Sig Pic.

I've described a few times how to modify existing wings (steel) to cover the wider wheels - check the 'spats' post.

Do you mean wheel arches like this:<br>

Member on the other board has these, you could try contacting him, he may sell them to you or tell you where he got them.

Jonathon, do you sell these or are they just a one off? I was looking at trying to fit a set of Mini Special arches to the rear to cover my 8" wide slot mags
Anyone else tried this out of interest? The Mini arches are only about £12 for four and plastic so easily cut and shaped.
