It would be a safe bet to say they are fiberglass there are a lot of companies that make fiberglass bits for Mk1 & Mk2 Scorts.

As that's a genuine RS1800 they could be steel ones if fitted from the factory.

Plenty of companies do fibreglass & now steel or alloy arches.

The Tarmac ones have wider rear arches
