Photo Chrome Wheel Arches

Hi Guys I have had a set of Chrome Wheel arches brought for me, now I know they are for the Granada but I am sure I have read from time to time that with a little modification these can be fitted to to our models but after offering them up I am not so sure exactly were to place them and yes they are handed but somehow they don't look right, its a long shot but has anyone fitted these and is there a photo available.
Many Thanks Kenboy

Ken,
The shortest ones go on the front, as for the rear ones they nead to be cut slightly to fit where they meet the rear bumper. If my memory serves me correctly there were some markings on the inside of mine, along the lines of LR RR RF LF.

Have to agree with Highlander...really not too sure about them.
Definately would NOT fit them on my Scorpio

Sierra XR4i's are great...especially when fitted with 4WD

Hides the rear wheelarch rot ! I reckon the vehicle to which these are fitted has to have a full wheelarch,on the Scorp half of it is bumpers.Some of my stretchies had plastic chrome stripping applied,looked silly,so I whipped it off.But as they say"beauty is in the eye of the beholder"

Hi Many thanks for your responses, as usual spot on (SUPER FORUM) I have to agree they do not look right but I have been going on about them for some years now and as a consequence I have had a set given to me from my family as a birthday present and now sheepishly I may have to fit them, or will I?.
But once again Many Thanks Kenboy
