Im after a new set of group 5 arches. I bought a new set from a company recently but the quality is shocking (not even round)
Just wondered if anybody has bought some and can point me in the right direction of where to get some

Cheers Chris

Toucha !

But seriously Paul i rebuilt up two of the fixing points on one and put them on today and it all cracked. it had about 3 layers of matt i cant get any more on as it would push it out to far. I could spend a few days getting them up to scratch (then break) or just buy a set

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

Hazpalmer when did you buy these? is that the gel coat? I ask as the one's i bought where from there are yours look soooo much better and mine are white gel coat. Just wondered if they get them from a new supplier or i just had a bad set. When you hold the rears side by side you can see that the mounting points are 2-3 in away from each other
Sorry just read the bottom bit im ringing them tomorrow to send mine back dont supose you can find the part no you bought ill see if its the same as mine
