Wheel arch type

Does anyone know which company made the alloy wheel arches in the picture below?, for some reason I'm thinking Cosmic. The next time someone asks me who made them (as there's another set on the car) I'd like to have a idea of what they are :) (pictures not great sorry)

There not Cosmic's, cosmics have a awful lip around the top where they fasten to the wing.
There much nicer and better made by the looks of them, if I hadn't just drilled my wings I'd have made you a offer ;)

id agree

cosmics are odd looking - like an alloy group two, very 1970's

my s had those ones in the picture fitted, ive always liked them

ive got three battered ones in my garage...... ;)

Thanks for the replies, yes they do seem to be good quality, I've not seen many sets (only the two I have ;) ) so I thought a set of spares might be a good idea!, the only draw back is you can't run a seam trim round them as they are (I'm sure you could add a small lip to them with a modern alloy glue), the car never had trims on it so it's not a problem :)
