[Bungle]

my 5's

[matt black]

not sure at the moment
i will be blowing over the whole car again in the spring

[the.stroker]

mine

[CobraV8]

Probably just the colour making them stand out so much that makes it look wrong. PS - the other two have posted group 6s!

[the.stroker]

Arent they Group 5 Euros?

Same as mine on my SPI

[Body stylist]

matt black, yours are group 7 arches, as are mkmini81, Bungle & the stroker have group 2 wide, and elmo is correct with his group 5 euro

just goes to show how mixed up the mini scene is with lableing of wheel arches depending on supplier!!

[Bungle]

you had better tell Downton as they sold my arches as group 5's

you had better tell Downton as they sold my arches as group 5's

thats only what downton called them when they copied them from japan

the style of arch that accepts a chrome lip edge is definatly group 2

really... group 7's got some new ones from mini spares which were group 5's? tottally lost now....

New ones...

[Body stylist]

yes, they are too wide for group 5, they are group 7 but they have removed the screw holes (probably as thier new laminators cant make them)

I have been supplying mini wheel arches for 20 years, and we used to supply minispares and mini sport, so i do know a thing or two about them
