Hi Im getting the mini's bodywork completely re-done - new wings, a-panels etc and a respray next month. Think the mini has group 5 arches (got 13" tyres) and I will need to replace the ones ive got - but dont know where to start. Thought about looking on Minisport or Mini spares. Any suggestions/ help gratefully received!  Thanks Kaz |

You could try looking on Ebay Kaz.
The quality may not be as good as say Minispares gear so be careful.
Good luck with the repairs.

as far as i remember you got sports packs, the only certain way to know is to measure how far out the wheel sticks from the body as alot depends of wheel offsets etc

Anybody know where I can get arches wider than the group 5? Like the proper wide arches on some of the race ones, for example the mini on the minisport web.

Here they are: www.minispares-online.co.uk/?cat_id=7&sub_cat_id=54&prod_id=1124Not cheap though. Also make sure you have really wide wheels or they will look daft (although the link says you can trim them) Also you will have to make your own way of fitting them. You could probably get some cheaper nasty knockoffs but they will be much harder to fit. |
