i probably shouldn't admit this on a public forum, but I agree with you Steve that cars should have clean arches. Especially when they are body coloured! I wouldn't sacrifice ride height for bufty arches tho

you'd be surprised how much crap comes out your archs if youve never cleaned them!

for all the weight saving freaks theres probably a could few kgs of mud stuck in your archs

my car is black and the wheel arches are black. yet at the furthest part away behind the wheel it is a disgusting orangey/browny colour when i clean it. therefore i would rather have my arches all black instead of having a gay browny/orange colour peering through.

I cleaned the arches on my old 1.1 106 a few times... I had 15" alloys on it, unlowered... anyone who's seen a 1.1 106 or Saxo unlowered on 15's will know how high they sit . The arches were easily accessible... and with the car being white, the painted arches were quite noticeable when clean. Quite satisfying actually , getting the shite load of mud out of the arches.

It took me 4 hours to just do the driver side rear and front though, I use quite a small brush so that I do it properly and don't get paint all over the components.
