Default Rear arches

Just been down the body shop to check on the progress of the rear arches.
The RS body kit rear arches are supposed to sit on the rear bumper and as the bantam does not have one there lies the problem
Tried a couple of sets of original rear flaps combined with extended arches cut from genuine arches but was not happy with the fit or look
Chris from the body shop offered a solution:
Take the spare arches from the opposite sides and graft them in,effectively putting them on backwards
They have had to be hand shaped to fit the rear bottoms but with a little more blending in I think they will look sweet
Almost got a series 1 RST vibe to them-I'll keep ya posted



Series 1 RST ish???





Needs a little fibre blending





Nice joint





N.S. Rear in build





Good ol gaffer tape!!!!
