Hiya i decided to change my arches... To migila style arches as i love the look of them racer. look [bleep]ing hard.

Will it sit on 13x7 wheels or would it look funny?
Will it fit to rear standard arches's holes ? or i have to drill new ones?

And where can i get it? i prefer light weight type.

as Norma's Euro Group 5 is cracked

AND

I wanna put on flip front my mini. I would like someone who know how do it, and do the full job of cutting my baby.

is there anyone who specialses this job and mostly importantly is much roughly, i could supply the bits required to fit flipfront.

Is there somewhere i can do it around midland or outside?

THANKS

Jay and his Norma

Not too sure about that arches, but Miglia are very wide arent they?

Anything less than 8" width I would have thought may look a little lost.

As for the flip front, its a fairly straightforward job. The only quote I have got however was from MiniSpeed and thats £1000 drive in drive out...

It's a right pain in the arse if you go with a GRP flipfront, as the bloody things are never the right size...

A steel flip front, however, is supposed to be much better (made from front wings, front valance and possiblt bonnet welded together) as they actually fit, and the weight saving of using GRP is not that much...

Having said that a Curley Carbon front end will probably fit, as the rest of his stuff is supposed to be really good quality...
