Fitting Discovery 1 Plastic Arch Set
« on: June 08, 2011, 05:14:47 PM »
I bought my 300tdi in a run down state and have proceeded to restore it and get an MOT

The arches and doors although intact dont look the best, so I purchased a set of plastic arches as per the link below

http://www.paddockspares.com/pp/DISCOVERY_1/Accessories/Plastic_Wheel_Arch_Kit_-_5dr_with_cut_out_for_side_mouldings.html

The arches look the part, but the instructions that came with them are useless

What I received is the 6 pieces of arches to suit my 5 dorr, plus a long roll of rubber edging

Has anyone fitted a set of these arches before and can give some duidance on how to fit the arches?

Do they need bonding on? Where does the rubber edging go?

Thanks

Ade

The rubber strips are fitted to the lip that touches the wing so as not to scrape the paint. Bonded is best or you can use double sided tape. i bonded mine and thier still thier
