Will be replacing the rear arches soon on my project, looking at the prices the non genuine ones are half that of the genuines. Has anyone had any experience with either or both of them? Don't mind spending the extra if they are really worth it. Cheers

I assume you mean sportspack rear arches?

The aftermarket, rubber ones are shit.

Ah. I have no experience of these panels, but in general, the non gen ones fit badly.

Use the gen panels... i used non gen ones once... llts of mods needed to make them fit... at the end it just costs money.

you can do anything if you set your mind to it...
i rather blow it up winning than keep it together losing.

finish date set for project 1... march 2018

Pay the extra and fit the genuine panels. I have fitted non gen panels before, never again.

I put a genuine rear arch into my car, went straight on. Personally, I wouldn't use pattern panels other than for cutting up into small repair sections where the finished shape isn't too critical.
