Wheel arch choices

Post by choochoo » Sun Dec 09, 2012 3:47 pm

Looking at some wheel arches for my samurai and these are all i can find,

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fender-Flares ... 2ebc0632a3

Anyone know of where else sells wheel arches that are for a suzuki .Seems to be plenty of landrover ones out there
Thanks Tom

I dont know of anywhere other than second hand ones. They do look nice except the price.

it all depends on what your willing to spend and what work your willing to do, if you dont mind paying the money and just want some width then landrover arches are a good thing to buy...

or even wider...

or if you want to save a bit of money and can weld, you can do a bit of a virtual lift at the same time to fit bigger tires aswel, this is what i have done, you will need two of these, a grinder and a welder...

no problem, just search ebay for landrover defender arches and you might even find a set cheaper...

have a look at my build thread and youll see my arches, they are the steel ones, you probably wont need to do anywhere near as much work as i did as my zuk was so rotten...

ahh right i see so you dont really want to go chopping at it after youve already cleaned her up, all i can think of really is either sami arches or landrover arches..
