Hello all,
Looking forward to bringing my bus out for the summer months from its slumber and looking for a few jobs to tidy up and improve my bus. Found these on the internet and look like a good product to stop the spray and crud from getting to the paintwork. Has anybody ordered/fitted these before and are they any good?

It always seemed a bit odd that these were left to the elements and this looks like it would solve an issue
Any thoughts would be good
Cheers
James

Re: Rhoen wheel arches
Better to keep existing arches in good condition and jet wash them out when they're mucky. Too easy to miss corrosion/damage with them covered up.

Re: Rhoen wheel arches
that's what I have done covkid thoroughly stripped the arches of any paint and sealant sandblasted the seam then re sealed them and them painted them bodycolour then i greased all behind the expansion petrol tanks so its easy to refit and to protect them and once a year I just remove them to wash the road grit and dirt away and re grease still looks as good 5 years later and it looks a lot better than the ill fitting plastic arches I had before

Re: Rhoen wheel arches
They are fine when they are fitted properly.

Re: Rhoen wheel arches
interesting feedback thanks guys,
its more the rears that i think need the covers as they can throw crud into the engine bay as they are very open. the fronts are quite enclosed i removed my breather tanks when i first renewed my fuel tank and they are nice and clear under there.
might put this into the maybe section of things i'm going to do to the bus......
