While Baxter was sorting my garbled steering and front suspension before Crimbo he found why I was occasionally getting wheel rub on the offside - the front arch panel had been replaced with a 14" one. grr!
I guess I have two choices - replace the panel with a 16" one or cut the existing 14" arch to the correct size. What would you do?
front 16" wheel arch panel?

not a difficult one really. just trim the same as vw did and make sure its well protected and re painted.

Re: front 16" wheel arch panel?
cut and fit 16" arch trims - isn't that what they did from the factory?
