They look like group 2's as sold by somerford, rather than the Mini 'special' arches which Huddersfield and most other grp2's are based on :thumbsup:

I thought that was the case, who sells the best group 2 arches?

I also did a test fit of my lamp pod on my old bonnet, looks great

Hi Lewis

Just trying to decide on what arches first, either group 2 or the wider group 5. As for wheels I will be running 6x10 minilites :)

Cheers

Right

These are the arches that I have had kicking around for years. The fit seems to be rubbish! The rear ones I can't get the arch the line up with the sill section.

Posted Image

And the fronts don't seem to have the correct curve to fit round the front panel.

Posted Image

Posted Image

And are these arches group 5???

And here's another pic of the lamp pod
