wheel arches..
« on: 07 May 2006, 11:33 »
Just taken one of my wheel arches off with the intention of de-arching the car. But as I expected found a little bit of blistering around the arch. Nothing major and is easily solved.. Not sure I liked the look of it though  :undecided:.. So now I have the problem of how to re-attach the arch back on seeing as I drilled the rivets out..?

So where's the best place to get this arch stuck back on without having to resort to using mastic as they never sit right... Anyone know anywhere in the manchester area where I get them re-riveted on or could the stealership do it?

Oh and anybody want a full set of CL strips?  :tongue:
