I had a set of these briefly - I took them back they were that bad! Have you tried standing the left and right front arches next to each other? The set I had were totally different shapes and had the mark for where the slot for the seam should go in totally different places! I originally wanted the Somerford ones but they were not being produced at the time - as soon as they were available, I got a set and they fit really well. While it's true that they all need some fettling to get them to fit, I felt the amount of work to get the Minispares ones to fit was not acceptable. It's a shame, really - I've rarely had problems with MS parts and would recommend everything else they sell - just not these arches!

I haven't stood them side by side, but its to late now, they're gloss black now

I'll see what happens and let you know how it turns out

sorry but you get what you pay for dude

i bought some from huddersfield once and once i had spent some time trimming them down and sprayed they looked really nice.

Think i've got some very similar to these on mine, and even with 2 seperate sets of holes for different arches and bodykits (all previous owners.. yet to be filled... )they didnt fit properly. But as has been stated, for that price, you cant expect the world on a stick. FG stuff costs money to make, therefore sadly its never going to be cheap and great quality.

Good luck with the spraying though, make sure you get a good primer, ruined mine by rushing the priming part O and spend lots of time double checking the holes and cuts you put in... you can always take off more but never put it back on!

I got mine from a ebay shop called ocoop, they were quite a good fit just screwed them straight on.

I like the idea, of it being 2 seperate pieces round the seam.

I'll post some pics tomorrow of what mine turns out like. Ive done 1 arch this evening, but CBA to do the rest.

Hope they turn out alright, because im abit concerned to as if i should of bothered now...
