   had to get an arch from a scrappy as mine had dislodged itself on the m6 when bringing the car home and gone flying. got new clips for the arch (proper ones, fit well on the other side) but the arch doesn't sit flush with the wing, theres a small gap, and it looks poo tbh
   
   any idea why?

   Is the arch deformed or anything broken on the back so it isnt sitting properly? Is your bodywork all straight?

   both should be fine
   
   might get another arch from the scrappy and try that.

   if your not too bothered about taking the arch off again you could try using some tiger seal and clamping it on. should sit flush then. i had to do that with my front arches
