Im thinking about getting some abw arch flares for my 4 door classic later on this year, and was wondering if anyone has any useful information, step by step pictures, or general advice that would be helpful

Thanks in advance

i had a brief look into it, looks like you mark where they are going to sit, cut the arches out, weld up the new cuts then bolt on the new arches

Yeah, ive been looking into it for a while and in theory it sounds quite easy. I just wanted to hear from poeple that have actually done it that can offer any advice or show any pictures they took of the process

didnt mean to shout caps lock on lol

i fitted the slimline bond on ones so was alot harder because the moulded edges were a bit dodgy.

the other bit is once you cut into it is sorting out the rust you might be horribly surprised

They are a crap fit and I can't even figure out which way they need to go!

Any guidance would be appreciated

Yeah they may well do, but that is hundreds of miles away, to be honest a set of bolt on arch extensions should fit without any problems....
