do ya no any one who can photoshop? might be worth a go tryin one pic of each see wat ya think, the arches aint too bad but if you are goin take em off ideally get sum new clips n pins spare becouse its almost garenteed a few will snap theres roughly about 6-8 on each front arch so its more time consuming than anything else

if your clips dont snap, try putting a bit of fibreglass to secure them in place, works wonders

here is one, they also mean you dont have to debolt the rear arches if you have a wide wheel/offset

if ya fitted them tho wouldent u have to screw into the arch from behind n thats onli if you can get the clip to bond with the arch in such away that it wont start spining with the screw when its screwd in?

seems the best move in my eyes m8 i mean they might work i just cant see how you could get them bond to the arch to screw into were as the clips are a straight unbolt and bolt job minus a few that migh snap as they do

you know how the OEM bolts slide into a plastic groove? well you slide this clip into the same groove and then use a screw with a small head, therefore you lose the scrubbing on the bolts, if done properl then these are the best way to bolt the arches to the car
