Which are the best replacement rear arches

[Doug27]

Last year we replaced a front wing with an aftermarket one, but had twist and bend it to make a good fit.

We've now got to replace one of the rear wheel arches.

Does anyone know of a good quality replacement rear wheel arch which is a good match to the original one.

Many thanks
Doug

The spurious repair parts are ok,best way is a full 1/4 panel but theyre considerably more expensive

I have a full quarter , am in two minds what am going to do with it. Was thinking small repair panels or cut the full quarter off , decisions decisions ....

A well fitted repair panel is just as good as a quarter. Ive got a pair of cheap repair panels on mine and cant fault them.

We've seen a couple of different shape arches on ebay, one which has a number of 45 degree angles and I believe covers over part of the filler cap and another one which is flat across the top then curved at the front edge.

Is one better than the other?

Thanks

I fitted cheapo arch repair panels to mine, as long as you take your time you shouldn't have a problem. The different shapes available should be irrelevant, as you will naturally trim them down and use only the bare minimum required.

Thanks for the advice
