i wasn't going to put the chrome arches on but when i held one against the cabby i thought "i just gotta" winkeye
the rears are not as good a fit .. the arches came of my old tin top 2 door but they are on, i'll take them back of tomorrow and put black silicone in behind them and fill the slight gap on the rears to
another thing, do all cabby's come with rear rolled arche's?

realy need to drop it about 35mm and i'm on the hunt for cheapish 15" alloys in my area?

it's a winter project so no rush to finish it of, and ive got to MOT it .. didn't stop me going a wee drive in it today to get some fuel :twisted:

honestly though it look's far better with the arches fitted, the blue is a flat (shiney) blue and the arches bring the paint to life :mad:

i was wondering when you'd join this thread Cliffy :D
tell me (if you can) are your arches made for a cabby & where/are your rear arches rolled?
my arches are from my old 2 door tin-top and they don't meet the body work to well at the bottom edge (cill) look's like i'll have to remove them and try to bend the shape slightly to mee the body better :? ive already flattened the end that stops behind the bumper to fit the cabby's arch ... or cut them so the are only half-length arches? (which i don't want to do)
