julietdiane Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 Ebay is selling Wheel arch trims for all Lupos. Complete set of four for about £60-00. They simply clip onto existing arch trim, no drilling. Has anyone fitted them? My rear arch trims are begging to rust. I shall remove the rust and paint over but was wondering was it worth fitting these trims. They are matt black which happens to be similar to my Lupo colour.

Skezza Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 Yeah I've seen them before. They'll hide your knackered arches at the end of the day. You can also glue them on for a more permanent finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could try with an angle grinder to remove the rust and respray, but it's not an easy task. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

julietdiane Posted October 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2017 Thinking about it they would trap water. I will just remove the rust followed re-paint and leave it at that. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
