[67buggers]

I always answer any question im able to that hasn't been answered already and will continue to do so

just because a question has been asked 100 times doesn't mean the person asking it should know the answer, maybe they weren't there the last 100 times to hear it, some people on here don't understand that

Top man!

[shelaghmk3gti]

indeed!

have just had a tug at my wheel arches.. im sooo tempted, but wanted to see what they were like underneath
3 nuts( shiny as new ones) fell out along with a load of mud  look clean though
i also noticed a hole... is there only the one and could it be filled and painted with a rattle can/ touch up brush.. i assume all 4 will have these holes?

[Dan_GTi8v]

there should be a few bolt holes on the lip where the arch screws on but shouldn't be any holes on the visible part of the arch. when I took my arches off the were rusted badly in places, grinded down filled and touched up with rattle cans and there as good as new

be careful with the front ones, my rear ones were ok but the fronts where the arch meets with the door down in the corner this section is often totally rotten on older mk3s or ones that haven't been looked after in the past. with the arches off I could push my finger right through a tube of glass fiber later and they weren't looking too bad but new arches will be needed in the near future

ahh right.. ill see if i can have a look without actually getting it off then,, dont want get stuck with a load of rust that i dont know what to do with.. yet! and as its a 1994 chances are high by the sound of it 

thankyou for the help
