Hi all,
I need tall rear wheel arches for my van. Just Kampers & VW Heritage do them for pretty much the same price, but just wondered if anyone can reccommend either (or both).
I suspect they are made by the same manufacturer but would like to hear from anyone who's fitted them and which arch is better.
Thanks.

They all fit, its getting them to fit right thats the fun part. Some are ok others are useless. The joys of repros.

Re: best place for wheel arches?
schofields are the best quality and fit available over here imo
if you want german quality made from the original vw templates, get them from volkswarenhaus in germany. they are very friendly & helpful, quick to dispatch and shipping isn't pricey. i haven't used them for t3/t25 panels yet, but i have for t1, t2 and t3 panels and they have all been an excellent fit compared to other manufacturers, and the steel is much better quality than some of the tin-like repro panels available for t1's and 2's over here (schofields not included)
