Do people not think they might look a little odd on the car?
To much Chrome and won't people start to think it is a Harley Davison?
Perhaps I need to get with the times?

mondeoman.
To my mind these arches look daft on the Scorpio because they only fit on the metal part,a large part of the arch being the bumper ends.Therefore they appear to be incomplete.No,don't like em

I don't know. A bit incomplete perhaps: THIS
It can postpone need to do wheel arches for a long time, and the wheel arches can be done less carefully. This guy have exaggerated the chrome a bit though.

For facelift (less chrome) I'd just get primed ones and paint them to color of car. Can't argue with tastes hehe

Baz, I believe the scorpio is little appreciated in all countries, but AFAIK it's only in UK where it's valued as low as it apparently is. 1500 euros is about typical starting price for a good one in Germany. Less than 1000e the ads talk about gearbox problems, head gasket failure or timing chain accidents. No that car had way much chrome, but good pictures of the arches.
