as above as i have seen them cheap somewhere but i dont know if its worth the hassle of them sticking out or whatever. i dont plan on getting my car lowered. its a corsa b 1.2 97R.
or even if it does fit will it stick out the standard arches too much and therefore fail an mot?
cheers

how the hell?! you car must handle like a bag of poo surely?!
and the slight archwork i imagine involved removing the arches?
