Hi,
Has anyone fitted 16v arches to a non 16v kitted 190?

Any pics appreciated, im blanning to bond them on rather than drill the arches.

Cheers.

i did offer some up a few years ago and the profile between the arch and the standard kit is off
so you would need to do a little profile editing for them to work right

You can bond them but the arch bolts need to be cut off so the arch plastic sits flush.
I'd say drill is better but then that can lead to rust problems if not sealed right.

As Steve mentioned, the sacco boards are different to the 16v ones. So the ends may well need trimming to fit.

Hmmm, so nobody's done it then, doh. Which bit will need trimming the arch or the sacco?
