You will find plenty of Sprinter arches on ebay , an example of the cut down version here.

I have just fitted a pair of the high type, this type gives you more metal to play with for patching up the inner wing etc.

Good Luck

Thanks. They do look like sprinter ones.

Need to get ours done at some point.

Thanks Jim, they are the correct arches just people no have started calling them Bongo arches.
People are fitting them as they are but I stand by my original fitment advice about cutting them and adding an extra 2" piece in the middle to stretch them a little to make them more into a squircle than a round arch. The section behind the sliding door stays more original looking too, doing it that way.
