Arches anyone

I just got a pair of wheel arches from retro power, they were klokerholm so thought they would be ok but they dont line up properly, maybe a bad batch

Has anyone bought some of these recently that fit good ?

Or is anybody selling a right rear that fits good ?

The Klokerholm stuff is normally pretty good.

I do wonder though if some arch kits are supposed to be fitted inside the quarter panel and plug welded/filled and others are meant to be butt-joined in if you get what I'm saying.

Id seen those, i though if i cant get the van wheels under the arches properly, i may have to get some, but i would rather not !

Im only changing the arch as the first one wasnt put on properly,

The ones i got are poor,

i should have took some pics,

Going to get one of these, i spoke to him and they have nt had any returned and sold over 20 so worth a try,

The estate/van rear arches are different to a hatch. You can't get them so you have to make do.

I found these Jon, it says they are for the caravan,

The maroon one that is on the other side i think i got that from leidiger tuning, and that fits good, as i say im only having to cut it off as its not on properly and removing it has ruined it mad

So i wonder if these are for the estate then ?

Ill email them,

Nobody makes arches for the estate you have to cut the back of the arch panel off and join it to an estate rear corner.
