mgb gt fibreglass arches

[ol' dirty]

Are they difficult to fit? Im looking at a possible buy on ebay, but need some info on fitting, they chap- very nice & informative said they would need some cutting to fit, along with the sebring front valance...Can anyone advise, as bodywork is not my strong point!

If you aren't good at body work don't attempt them, 90% of sebring projects don't get finished as owners do the cutting, start to fit the wings then realise it is not a 5 minute job, and not really within their capabilities, the car then sits for a couple of years before being sold as a project.

My advice is decide how much you want the big wings, decide if major bodywork is within your capabilities and if not be prepared to pay someone to fit them.

Incidentally if you can find them second hand (unfitted) they are usually very cheap!

You might find a bit of heat will help shape the fibre glass. I've just fitted front and rear Sebring panels to my B and yes they were a pig. However a bit of heat from an electric (not any sort of gas) heat gun helped make the fibre glass a bit more flexible.

Hope this helps.
