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. Edited by Lewis 190E 2.5 16, Thu May 28, 2009 10:47 pm.

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? |
