	Not bad for £58 off the bay! what i need to know is do you think they would be better a little bit narrower as i could cut them down by 1/2" atleast. What with the streched tyres and everything. Or leave them as they are....? As you can see I'm getting stuck into the bodywork atm

	Wow, I can`t wait to see it finished! Personally I'd keep the arches that width, gives it a hunched down Miglia look Cracking on with mine next wekend, havent touched it in 6 months

I think they are pretty simlar to the Curly ones you can get from Mini Speed but I'm not 100% sure. They are glass and don't have a lip on the inner edge so are easy to cut down to your required width perfect for a kitten, just glass them on from underneath! I think they will need a little fettling at the front but not alot.
