Mud Guards...
« on: 17 May 2024, 16:53 »
For interest, and it may help some one, I've had my arch guards fitted for a couple of weeks now, and thought I'f let you know my thoughts. They are very unobtrusive, you barely know they are there.
But they don't half stop a lot if road grime getting thrown down the side of the car! Very, very impressed:






Hopefullly there will be some rears to match in the near future.

If interested, check out Arch Guardian on Facebook.

You'll have to contact Jason of Arch Guardian. He sells direct as far as I know. The rear sets are going to be available asap too.

They are Rim Blades, stuck on with 3m VHB tape. I only put them on to hide an existing scuff. The wheels are original as far as I can tell, so they aren't doing too badly for 7 year old.
