Rear Wheel Arch - do you know what I can replace them with?

Post by AidanToase » Wed Apr 13, 2011 2:16 pm

My rear wheel arches have gone rusty, I think you can replace them with the arches of a Transit.... is that true - anyone know how I can find out. Or the best way of getting them repaired

Brilliant thanks guys - I am in Leatherhead Surrey

I wonder how much of an exact match you need, - I measured an transit wheel arch and it was a few cm different - but then maybe I need to get the right model.....

Thanks your a star

It is the Mk6 LWB transit wheel arches you need.

Does anybody know if these arches will fit?

Is this for a mk 6?

They seem like a good price.

They look like the ones, and they are very cheap for a pair.

The Mk6 transit ran from 2000 - 2006. So those ones are not the ones you need.

TonyBee is correct. My apologies. They look like the right ones in the picture, but it is so small that it's hard to tell.

I believe these are the ones

I had a terrible time sourcing some earlier in the year - hopefully the supply problem is now cleared.
