arches look kinda cool cos they are different but the mirrors?????looks like you just drove through halfrords abit taky for my liking same as those dtm mirrors.sorry dude but i think geneuin are best.auto glym bummper care is wicked stuff it puts the oil back into the plastic as oppos to the rest that draws it out which is why after a week of back to black it all goes white!lol

be careful when painting these mirrors cos the actual plastic is very rich in oil!so even with plenty of key primer and paint they may well still flake or bubble and once theyve done that you just have to either chuck them or keep painting them!which isnt good cos the cost a few quid!

the only way they fit? the arches are held on with self tappers(and screws in some cases) and then the sill extensions stick to the existing sill with the mounting kit, and thats it really, because of my small bumpers i had to alter the very front parts of the door trims as they were abit too long and needed to fit flush, and then theres the front spolier which i had to cut up quite abit and then tie string to the ends and then under and up the engine bay abit to hold them flush to the arches, masive bodge job but you cant really tell now its done,
