its not very noticable unless your looking for it, its not as if they're sticking out miles its an inch max. I didnt mean they would knowingly pass it just meant that i was not part of the mot checklist

well mad hat man, NICE arches, might fit some wider wheels on mine, specially when the big brake kit comes, they look cool.
