Bolt on arch spacing out from body ?
I have bolt on arches on my Striker and may need to space them out from the body possibly up to 10mm. Question is, what can i fill the gap with
without using mastic ? It is a track car so doesnt have to be a pristine fit, but would some sort of dense foam be suitable ?

Mdf or ply. draw around the arch and cut it out with a jigsaw.
You could cut the arch and glass a band in.

That's what I did (with MDF, a lot cheaper than 1mm ply). If you use MDF make sure you waterproof it well, I slopped on waxoil then covered in
coloured tape, actually looks a lot better than it sounds

I'm sure they would but I bet B&Q and 15 minutes with a jigsaw is cheaper
