Right... I've been searching for the rear arch skirt caps And there like hen teeth... So I'm making them myself... And tbh are ver easy to make... Here's the first template.. Kindly done by Craig @ distintive detailing....





When complete I will add the other pics.. These will be an exact copy when finished and machined.
