Hi m8.The chrome arches you have mentioned are for a mk3 granada.They will fit your arches but (imo) look a little odd with the chrome finish,& are a little short (dont extend to the sills).However i fitted a set of s/h ones to a friends ghia,but because the chrome finish was quite dull (been in the corner of a mouldy garage for years  ),i flatted the surface back & painted them body colour.When fitted they looked like "flared" arches.A nice sporty touch i think

( S/H ) Second Hand 
Bubbly wheel arches are common on these cars, something to do with the plastic bumper I'm told.
If you're a budding Henry Moore or Rodin ( that's Sculptors to you uncouth lot ) you can de-rust the arch and fill with Cataloy or some such filler and re-paint.
