Lewis Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I’m planning to refit the OE arch spats having removed them years ago to fit wider ones and now that I come to reuse them for something I can’t remember which was which. I’ve sussed our the fronts but I can’t decide if the rears are handed, and if so how to tell them apart. My tub is quite rough and bruised so it’s of little use as a template. Can any knowledgeable members help out with some info? Much appreciated, Lewis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris113 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 (edited) The front arches as you said are handed, they are slightly longer on the rear edge so that they meet the sill. The rears are the same part number for left or right 1986-2006 although the part numbers vary dependent on pre/post 2006. Must admit I can't see the difference comparing a 2013 110 at work with my 2005 110. https://www.britishparts.co.uk/products/8829-wheel-arch-eyebrow-ALO710010 Hope that helps, Harry Edited October 5, 2017 by Boris113 typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve200TDi Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I thought they were all the same and I've just trimmed mine down to suit. I think I bought them from newbury or Billing and there was a pile of them, chose 4 and bought them. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
