Quick question on arch trimming was created by Coletti
Hey guys, Wanting to trim the flat part off the arches to open it up so I can fit bigger tyres but was unsure of the best way to go about it. I've had a look and the plastic arch will be easy enough but was unsure what to do to/with the metal piece under the plastic arch, is it simply a case of removing that piece or is it structural? Any info would be greatly appreciated :)

It's an easy job really, I found it easier with a dremmel instead of the jigsaw and I cut the rear bit of metal arch off rather than grinding the spot weld.. All in all it took around an hour and alf.

I bashed my rear metal arches up and flattened, now I will use it to attach my extended arches.
