Title: Arches
Post by: vdubajgti on 21 May 2006, 12:49
Hi, apparently there is a difference between the arches on a valver and a g60. I didn't know this. What is the difference? Has anybody got any pictures of the two? Thanks

its the plastic trims, on a G60 they are wider...

Nothing to do with the actual wings, which is good...

The front wings are different, thay are wider and have slots stamped in them to hold the plastic arch.

AND are bloooomin expensive!!

actually the wings aren't wider but come with cut away sections as the g60's ran a wide track. :nerd:

So, would I need to buy G60 wings then? Or can I simply just attach the G60 arches. Are the rear arches on a G60 different too, are they wider? Lastly, is there any other difference between the valver and the G60, by this I mean are the sills and rubbing strips on a G60 different, or is just the arches? Cheers

Theres no need to buy G60 wings, and the side sills are the same as the 90 spec items. The rear arches are also slightly wider, by about 5mm or so.
