I notice that there is a gap between the wheel arch liner and the wheel arch on my 2006 V8 Vantage. I'm not so bothered about the right hand side, but I am worried about water ingress on the left due to all the electrics exposed,

Has anyone fitted some edging trim to theirs, like this:

Did it fit and is it worth the effort?

I'm sure that would work, but it's rather bulky. I would try looking at CH Baines website for something slim, maybe a blade seal rather than a complete ring.

I would think the electronics are sealed from the elements.

Try Woolies trims. I used to get bits from them. They had lots of profiles available

I had the same problem. From the factory, theres a sealing strip on that edge, which is listed on scuderia parts as; 4G43-DX88N-AA. It’s £11.00
