Scottyboy Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 Hi All, I thought, I had ordered the correct part from Westfield with their carbon effect rear arch guards arriving last Thursday. However, after trying them on my car (its a 2001 SEIW with what is known as "kit Bodywork, not ZK", apparently) and of course they do not fit. The part fits the rear arches just fine on the outer section, but the lip that turns up to join the bodywork is about an inch away from the body. So, I need a solution, that will fit the kit bodywork. Does anybody have one they can sell me, or advise accordingly. Cheers Scott
chriss1455 Posted April 24, 2016 Posted April 24, 2016 Scott, if it's about an inch away have you not got the extra wide arches on? If this is the case then (as far as I believe) there isn't a stone guard you can buy that will fit around the arch. My old man made one by cutting down some aluminium and wrapping it in carbon vinyl, and pitting some Rubber U-channel round the edge. looks ok and does the intended job. I think Chris has something similar? Or could just be carbon vinyl straight into body work?

Scottyboy Posted April 25, 2016 Author Posted April 25, 2016 I suspected this. Vinyl wrap it is for me then. Thanks chaps.
Higgy Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 Just received my arch protectors from Westfield today. I have 'kit' bodywork and standard detachable arches. The protectors fit mine okay.
Scottyboy Posted April 27, 2016 Author Posted April 27, 2016 Cheers Higgy, I guess this seals it. Extra wide arches for me then. Which is a good thing in a way, as I didn't know I had them, so would have probably bought some!! Looks ok in orange anyhoo. Thx Scott
Formy Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 Scottyboy do you still have the carbon stone guards? Might be interested Regards Mark
