clipper arch protectors
« on: 19 June 2009, 22:05 »
whats yer thoughts?



available in clear or black

i am sure clear will just show up the marks underneath... but black would cover up the stone chips and touch up stick marks inherited from the previous owner

I think I'd go black for the very reason you mention. Plus yours has the black hood too so they will not look out of place. Mine got chipped to buggery on the rear arches.

I don't know really. I'm trying to think what I've seen over the years, but I dont think they did carbon fibre effect, but I could be wrong.

Aye, there should have been some kind of arch protection on them as standard.

These were mine, not brilliant, but there all the same.





Notice the peppered paint.

his were very similar so they must have been standard... i guess mine has seen some action at some point  :undecided:

might go for black... or get them sprayed and protected when i get the bumpers repaired and sprayed

nice to know they are available though  :smiley:
