Default Inner wheel arches

Guys

Just curious as to how some of you went about filling your inner arches now that the inner liners arent anywhere near the right shape.

All suggestions welcomed!

I would suggest making a paper/card template and then by some flexible plastic sheets to cut to shape and use self tappers to secure. haven't done it myself but that's how I would approach it.

good luck!

Could start with some plastic trailer mudguards and go from there.

How about using one of those blue plastic water barrels that you see around farms? I'm sure i saw one of the Sammio/Miglia/A352 boys using one?

A quick e-bay throws up loads at between £5 and £10 i.e. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Blue-plast...-/261564240732

The curvature is very good for inner wheel arches and the leftover bits allow for lots of tinkering materials!
