got ''new'' arches (mine were/are ripped off )

You can buy some similar at Halfords. They are a bit too thin but if you put few layers of sticky tape around they do the job. And cost 3euro for 10

Hang on - will the stickytape not stop them from expanding??

by **DirtyLopez** » Thu Jul 05, 2007 11:41 am

just a bit but they still fit OK

but you have to use this isolation sticky tape (black, red...) it is more ductile
You can try anyway, it`s just 3 euros

The truth is that these things are worthless even as orginal so I use them only in few places... where I can`t use bolts and nuts :lol:

I had my arches riveted up out of the way. Its the best way IMO of sorting out the arch issue in the FTO if you're getting some decent rims and tyres in there on lowered supension.

or cable tie's :roll:

If you can find enough points to cable tie them to. You can rivet the arch liner directly to the underside edge of the arch itself.

and what about the fog lights seems to be a lot of water and mud from the wheels on them

Not too bad really - there seems to be a bit more of a build up in the inside of the wings - but it all washes right out again..
