andy B's truck off difflock used anus arches and they look pretty good
here's mike H's with bushwakkas but they're pretty expensive!
Here's toecutters who used the wide landy arches i think you can buy from the difflock shop.
and i've just used spats on mine which i think look pretty good

I have opted for standard defender arches on mine, but now i think they will be to small when i put my wheel spacers on. So would probably be best to go for the extra wide defender arches.

I think with on more gust of wind and my arches will fall off! So anyone got any wider arches for sale? or can anyone suggest where I can get a set from. I cant find defender ones for less than £100 and didn't really want to spend that much, my arches are shot so will have to replace the whole lot, so bolt on's onto the existing arches are not an option!

What about these arches? There pretty wide and they dont look like they cost very much.
