    This car is fast becoming a demonstrator for my products! Looks fantastic sir.

    I haven't made a final decision on selling these arches yet, all fibreglass products require a little sanding/trimming etc but some customers don't understand that, as such i had a few "complaints" in the USA about fitment even though they all come from the same mold there will always be a slight discrepancy from car to car.

    It makes it very hard for me to advertise them as fitting perfectly even though i know the fitment is very good.

    I do all of my bodywork products as a sideline, no real profit in any of it, just to keep aftermarket parts alive for these cars, the big players aren't interested in the Mk1 Mr2 anymore, it's a very niche market with not many cars around now, so it makes it difficult for me to keep motivated making products if i get fitment moans.

    I'll be honest, i think some people want zero prep, in this day and age it's all about out of the box, bolt on, go.

    That is just never going to happen with a fibreglass product.

    Sorry for the rant!

    If people who don't understand that custom bodywork always need a little work ,shouldn't be touching body work on cars.

    Your car looks sweet Scotty real mean looking.

    I thought Americans love hacking things to bits and custom work etc. I'd be a bit less surprised if we brits moan. To be fair it does clearly state in the ads that some light modification may be required to fit. If I didnt wanna cut it myself and it was going as a bolt on job it could easily be hidden with a bit of weatherstrip. However fibreglass is relatively easy to cut and it's as easy as it's gonna get.
