Like the update Jonny. As for the arches miglias look good on minus's anyway low and wide :) Just a tip if you are going to get miglias if you want a proper set get curley ones as arc angels only sell two sets of front arches and pass them off as a single set.

Regards Blue

Handbrake looks ace! Clever shock spacers too!

I made up some fibreglass cosmics for my minus, using one of my ally ones to mold from...

I did make a replica set for a chap on here... I could make you a set up to fit your arches if you wanted??

EDIT: I can leave out the seam cutaway too! ;)

Thanks Ed!

I did leave a message on your thread about getting a set of you, then these came up on ebay.

Hmmm i don't think its possible. You're miles away and ideally you would need the shell to match the curve to?

I think i'm going to try some miglias first. See what they look like.

I have just been looking at various polyurethane liquid plastics to maybe try and mold some poly arches from these. Hold up better than grp when my tyre hits them!
