i have finally fitted wide arch's to the rear of my mk1 as the local cops were not to impressed at the 9j rear wheels sticking out................ the rear view as it is now, a big improvement, these archs totally cover the wheels. the inside............. note the gear gator , not sure if its daft or not. made from stainless plate and an old inner c.v. joint from a mk1 1.1 i had years ago but some fool nicked it and wrote it off..
they are fiberglass construction with a gel coat finish, which was cracked slightly . i have fitted them with a bonding adhesive, looks like black silicone to me but it holds really firm. got them from a link on here. je designs in germany. 178 E for the rear only, don't know if they are available for the front.

That looks sweet.. Your tyres on the wrong way round though I think, or you've stuck the rear wheels on the wrong sides..?
don't laugh! easy done if you were mad keen to go for a spin after fitting parts... thats an original gear gaiter - never seen that before
correct card valver, good job i never drove like that in rain , job sorted. cheers mate just may have saved my skin in a fast corner in the rain
lovin' the gear gaiter! top idea, suprised you can still get to every gear car is looking great makes me want a wider, lower stance now! Edited by: PhillTMK1GTI
