jimmyb 2 Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 well i thought that you could have just removed the arches and not even touch your side strips without anything looking out of place,when i took the arches of my old car i didnt notice anything,(ohh apart from rust) beware there may be RUST!

jimmyb 2 Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 ohh yeh i forgot about that,lol but saying that im guessing you would want to colour code them anyway, so searching for a set in your cars colour of a breaker would probably be the best bet.sos for wrong info Link to post Share on other sites

Ben Seabrook 4 Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 if your after a set I might have a full set for sale mate !! am breaking my car at the mo !! Link to post Share on other sites
VeedubGeezer 0 Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 You'll need the door ones too as they're slightly different. A full set is your best bet. I'd guess you'd be looking to pay about a maximum of £30 from a breakers (about £5 for each of the 6 pieces)Hope this helpsAaron Link to post Share on other sites
