There are a full set of arches on eBay, which I can get for about £35 + £10p+p. Trouble is they aren't genuine GM arches, and I wondered if anyone knew if the fit would be really shoddy and not worth it?!

Also, how much on average do a full set of standard arches for a Corsa B cost?

It's these arches from the infamous GBK Performance:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170133959903&sspagename=ADME:B:AAQ:UK:1

Thought they might be half decent, obviously not.

Will try Vaux and Autovaux too.

Anyone else?

Oh, and these aren't to be painted. Mine are just extremely faded. Look ok once back to blacked, but the front bumper and rear bumper are newer so the colour still doesn't match.

I know for a rear arch from Vaux it's around £40. And £18 for the fronts.
