E70 arch flares on e53
E70 arch flares on e53
Anyone tried this? Is it possible?
Re: E70 arch flares on e53
I thought you could still get the E53 arches on EBay. Maybe a body shop could make the E70 ones fit, but seems to me that that would be an expensive way of gaining wheel arch extensions.

You can get e53 ones, but the e70 ones are slightly wider & colour matched to make them look a bit more refined. Just wanted t know if it's a straight swap or I'll go for the e53 ones

Re: E70 arch flares on e53
sorry to hi-jack, but I my 3.0 has running boards are the arches already flared?
Re: E70 arch flares on e53
If you have 20" wheels and there are triangular section black plastic extensions stuck on then yes. If the wheel arch black section is flat, then no.
OP - you can get the plastic OEM fitments colour matched for the E53 but the E70 is a different shape so unlikely to fit without some form of adjustment etc.
