   Is this possible? Don't know whether you could just cable tie the bumpers in tightly so they look flush or whether the bumpers would just smash?
   
   After some deliberation, I've decided I'd rather not cut the arches to size, as it'll probably end in somewhat of a disaster.
   
   Thanks,

   anything is possible with the right skills, a few people have vt front bumpers on flat arches and just tuck the corners in, not sure how easy it is to do that on 106's, the rear bumpers are harder to do as the shape of them where they meet the extended arch

   I've already got a rear bumper at home, so I may have to experiment with it tomorrow, see what happens.

   thats the best thing to do is fit it and find out for your self how hard it is, if the bumper needs to be resprayed then dont be afraid to trim the bumper to fit and rough edges can be smoothed out when it gets painted
