Shamus....im the guy that called mate from Vauxhall Head office re your e-mail...trimming the front arch lips at front and rear should help mate using an angle grinder or something, though as you have an sri with et40 on u really shouldnt have ne probs with scrubbing? Maybe its just the wheels?

Just take them off and grind them down a bit (the plastic arches) and then cut some of the inner plastic arch away and then bond them on rather than bolting them on
