Authentic looking Group2 arches

Post by spoon.450 »

Hi, I need a set of replacement group2 wheel arches for my Mk1 cooper rally car. Its got some on at the moment the have been on the car years but are looking very second hand now.
I've been looking at the Huddersfield Mini center ones and some of the others available on ebay but they all seem to look half way between a group 2 arch and the late 70's mini special arch. I just want to make sure whatever I buy it's going to look right. Can anyone please advise ?
Many thanks,
Dave

Summerford ones are the best, bit more expesive but they are made from black gel/fibre so if you chip them it wont show.

They have to be drilled and slotted around the front seam but they are bob on for me.
