I know a long time ago mr woods spent a long time perfecting these on tiggs mk1.5, are they available from anywhere these days though? I love the wide arch look, but I much prefer the bolt ons to the smoothed arches, I've had so many kitted cars that despite many hours or work end up looking a a bit ragged when the arches start to crack.

If not, could the smoothed arches be modified with the bolt mounting cutouts?

Conversely, if you are just doing staggered and need the rears wide, i had good results with these:

But the front arches are just stock and pulled slightly to allow clearance.

Hi Tommy, that's the look I'm after really, what arches are those?

I don't think so, IIRC Tommy bought them from a guy on Retro Rides.

Sorry Karl, i don't make bolt on arches, mine are universal blend in ones.

I did a one off bolt on set for Snowtigger but they took me months to do.

As Jimi says, ranger bob on retro rides sells them. They are flimsy but effective.

You want the front wide arched too?

I thought there had been mention of them being moulded, but I know that was a few years back now, shame, they were lovely.

Ideally I want to do it all round. I don't mind them being flimsy, as they can be reinforced, I have a selection of carbon tow tape for the job, as long as they are a fairly good fit. Saying that, I manage to get an abomination of a Bomex front to look perfect on my mk2, so I know I can get it looking good

Tommy, which are yours? The wider ones or the narrow ones

They are the 3" wide ones. I ask about the fronts because i haven't tried mine there. You might have issues getting them fitting correctly (or might not...)
