Wheel arches fitting help

Muddygamekeeper · Mar 16, 2014

Got some nice wheel arches, terra firma, no mention of cutting etc at all

When trying to get them into position it appears there is quite a lot of cutting that needs to be done, and I don't have the confidence to cut away at the rear doors as it looks to take a significant chunk out.

Am I doing something wrong? There were no instructions with them.

Alternatively, is there any wheel arches I can get that do not require cutting are are easy to fit?

Thanks

Hi

Are you fitting arches to cover up larger wheels and tyres or just cosmetics?.

Muddygamekeeper · Mar 17, 2014

It was originally for the larger wheels and tyres which I didn't get, so now it would be just for the look

They will look crap if you havent got the wheels to match

You will at least need to get spacers to make the current wheels fill the arches better

As above and cutting is great fun do all four in 2 hours with two 1 mm disks

Hi all im in the same boat got my arches because want to go bigger and wider with tyres.

Found it near impossible to find any decent instructions or videos for cutting the back doors. How has every one else done theres. Or does anyone know a garage around london/surrey that fit these
