I saw some a while ago on clubpolo classifieds going for 80 quid for the four. I am hoping they're cheaper than that though.

They sell for around £80 second hand usually. Brand new for arches (and sills) its around £160. Its £27.50 per arch and then something similar for the sills.

£80 is a rediculous price to pay for the plastic arches. Go hunting round scrappy's and you will find some eventually.

I sold one on it's own for £10 the other day, thats the kind of price you should be paying.

I sold a set last year for £30ish IIRC, and that seemed a lot back then! £80 really is a lot of money, as Dan said just keep hunting round them scrappies.

My 8" ats classics stick out a fair bit on my G40

I'm changing them for my 7x13" mattig steelies as they sit in the arches quite nicely. 8)

The old bill around my way wouldn't take too kindly to the ats's sticking out that far :cry:

Could do with the money as i've spent miles too much on my car already!!

Unfortunately they are painted blue in colour so they don't go well with my shiney red G

They are 7" on the front and 8" on the back

PM me on here or pitstop and we'll talk
