Hi,

Liking the wheels. I have the same as your old ones but would like to change them in the future. Where did you buy them and how does the 20s affect the ride from the 19s.

Hi Sanj,
Thanks, I would love to change the arches, would i have to buy them from dealers or is there somewhere else, and how much i wonder? And do you know how hard they are to fit?

Hi JT,

Cheers,Roy.

Harsh! I did offer to help! But you know what's he's like! It's one of those jobs where you take ages on one side and then do the other in half the time.

The kit is dear and I did get mine from the main dealer (just couldn't find them second hand). You get most of the fixings with it but Pewters guide tells you exactly what you need (and a rivet gun).

If you go for it, make sure you get the right kit, they are different for cars with or without the running boards. The whole arch comes in the kit with the additional arches attached. Shame as the additional arches only would be less than half the price. Oh and just under Â£500 for the kit...

LOL you know i'm only joshing darling

FWIW it is expensive for a few bits of plastic but then it does look good when done

You can get the Arch Extensions here...

Arch Extensions

Â£552 inc VAT is not a bad price. Extra 2.5% on there from when Sanj / Pewters did theirs...

You can also have them fit it for Â£78 which TBH I would pay rather than have the hassle of getting the tools and things you need to do the job...
