Hi all,
I have a '73 mini currently under going lots of welding etc..it will be done one day! However, I have just had a cracking deal on some 12x6 in wheels (car has 10" standard wheels now with no arches /flares.
In tyhe deal with the wheels I got some arches but they look a nightmare to fit - any suggestions for some "easy fit" arches that will go with the new wheels? thanks

Wood & picket arches are the best easy to fit imo :)

Sometimes they do need abit off the front of the wing/front panel but it depends on what offset they are most fit with no cutting at all:)
