anyone got any easier ideas?

ok il have a look in the morning. thanx for ur help chaps

just from some strips of ali or something like that, i cant tell you exactly without actually seeing you car.

how do i do that? just 45degree ones? im not totally useless just wana b sure, its expensive if u balls it up!

you will have to make up some brackets.

ok sounds fairly straight forward. how do u fit the skirts they have no mounts? so i shouldnt fill them, just fibo the edges yea?

oh and cut the metal arch out from behind, then weld the 2 rear skins together then paste it with underseal.

put some fibreglass up on the top edge, then press it onto the car which you have covered in cling film, hold till dry, once dry remove, trim /sand excess fibreglass, then bond on and run a bit of filler round the top edge.

do what you sed .fill with fibre glass and put cling film over the car.push the arch against the car where it is going to bond on, with cling film between car and arch.take off let it dry ,and you now have a perfect fit .then bond it on with tigerseal.or screw through the arch into bodywork then skim over the screw holes with filler

tigerseal round the edges might be ok, but it would be much better to bolt them. then you will be able to take them off if they get damaged etc etc.

my mate has done that on her corsa.

will just tigerseal around those thin edges b enough?

Use expanding foam to fill them once fitted, will make them mucho strongo.

but if i didnt fill them with fibre glass how wud i bond them? as there wont be enough ede to bond?

if you fill them with fibreglass they will be pretty heavy, and may distort when the fibreglass dries.
you could bond them on with 'tigerseal' (brand name of automotive glue)

bond them on yes but dont fill them with fibreglass

aha good idea. i thought of filling them full of fibreglass and bonding them on?

fibre glass some bolts onto them, then drill holes intho where your old plastic arches used to go on the car's body, and use a nut to fasten them.
