Hi,

I recently bought some miglia arches from the arc angels and noticed that all 4 arches have the taperd (spelling?) front edge on them that I thought were only on the front of the front arches if that makes sense? Looking at pics on Google, the rear arches seem to have a flat edge on the front and rear?

Can anyone confirm I've either been sent 4 fronts or is this how their arches come please?
Thanks, James.

I thought only the fronts were tappered, Are they all the same? The rear arches should be a different shape where they meet the body. Fronts on the back would need alot of trimming I'd have thought

Warwick.

Quite a few companys are making only fronts and sending them out as sets... saves them moulding costs but just doesnt look right in my oppinion

no offence meant to the owner of the black mini pictured but the rear arches look fooking crap
the proper rear mig arches are the better looking of the set imo

I concur.

After buying Mig arches from a number of people, the original Curley ones are the only ones I'd spend my money on.

Stoke-on-Trent. Duck.

That black Mini certainly appears to have front arches on the back.

Mine were from Curley

The black mini does look strange, the bott back of the arch doesn't look right. You would have thought at the price for a set of carbon arches they would send you a set of front and backs.

Thanks all for the replies. I don't know if I like them like that :/. How much are a set of curley ones roughly?

Does anyone have any pictures of miglia arches over 6x12s by any chance please?
