I’ve discovered some rather large wear holes in my front inner arches. Having a dig through search and history, this seems to be quite common?
As there are pipes becoming exposed and I don’t want those to be worn by the tyre, so I’d like to replace. I’ve found SJSportcars list them on their website. Any other sources that I should look at?
The DeRoure website lists them too - (www.deroure.com) though the prices used by both are likely to be exactly the same. I’ve bought from SJ in the past and they’re good to deal with.
I like the lino repair and will note that if it just comes right back again, I’m working my round the car fixing various bits so going to start by replacing these.
Potentially revised shape is promising. I’ll compare when the old ones come off.
So I have now ordered a set from SJSportcars. They have to quote on these as they don’t carry stock. Delivery time 7-10 days, so purchased and looking forward to them arriving.
New liners are indeed a different shape and rub less. Stiffer springs and dampers also help but again they will rub. I use thick plastic and duck tape over the holes. Chinese take away boxes taped on also work where there is room, obviously the box on the inside. Duck tape is also a good idea for the headlight access grommets, save the grommets in the garage.
You would never get such creative opportunities with a Porsche.
You’re all a spicy wing short of a combination starter!
All told it came to just over £200 including delivery, so pretty much as advertised on the site. There is a good 2 week lead time on them too. A little pricey maybe from some point of view but if they are later type and it’s an improvement then worth it to stop the various gubbins they protect from taking the brunt of what the wheels kick up. I’m thinking specifically of the various pipes that I’m sure are a much bigger pain and cost to replace if you hole them.
