   The Arches should be bespoke fit.

   ive heard you need to cut the original wheel arch back so as it doesnt stick out under the vt arches but nothing more than that!

   Just replace the front wings with VT ones and your arches will pop straight on

    I duno but the garage have told me that its too much of a big job to modify the front arches to fit, they said it would take too long... so far thats all i know.
    
    so im just gunna get only the rear bumper fitted from the VT* kit (my car has had a crash and the origional back bumper is wrecked thats why it is in the garage, i was going to have the kit fitted whilst it was in)
    
    will this look alright, a standard 1.1 with a VTR rear bumper
    
    no the side strips are black in answer to whazza22's question...

    basically get a marker pen draw how wide the arches need to be then cut them to size the vt arches will cover the rough cut. then drill the holes for the clips thats all u need to do. if u go the a bodyshop they can do it but do it ur self and u will save £££s
