Arch protection
For your rear Archs what do people use on them to stock stone chips?
Or the best place to get them from, was thinking maybe that carbon vinyl or are real carbon or metal ones a better bet?
Thanks

You need big mudflaps on the front !!
IVA man said he was cheesed off with getting a faceful when doing self centering test in wet outside..
I made some and they are great.. no more stones hitting top of rear arch..
No more water in the passenger seat!

beaver-boy, you can get a product from DIY stores which is a rubber roofing sealant stuff - it is black and does the job of prevent star-cracking from
the inside of the arches.
