Plastic inner arches

[Dimski]

Morning all,

I had been suffering minimal rubbing when hitting a compression in the road, so for the track day Friday, I removed them.

Question is, I was thinking about painting the underside of the wings, waxoyling them, then not replacing the plastic inners.

Is this stupid? I guess without them there are a fair few mud traps which could, in time, cause corrosion. I could keep those clean, but is it more sensible to replace them?

(I do need to raise my ride height. no problem on the '14s, going to '16s has been the problem.)

Just let them rub.

Or heat them up and bend them out the way.
