Hatch ones are about £11, no idea on loon ones.

Can't be much though.

I like loons with hatch arches, makes them look slammed!

Hatchback arches on a saloon = bad. Lets not get into this round peg, square hole argument again lol

Agreed - mass neg rep for anyone who thinks otherwise?

Now the other way round I quite like lol

i think the problem with trying to put flared arches on the back of a 2 door is that the 3door ones are too short, so look crap. and the look too low as well. some decent bespoke ones might look a lot better though.

When your bonnet looks that bad, the arches would be the last thing I would be looking at!:thumb:

If by too short you mean lengthways, they'd look odd if they flared right to the rear of the car IMO
