GeoffD Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 there's a little bit of room behind the liner, but the best way to find out is to just try taking it out, see how it goes. while you've got them out remember to clean all the shite out from the back of the sills, stops them rotting. top tip of the day! geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skezza Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 (edited) but if i dont im asking for it to go in the tyre and i will keep the hole where it goes in the bumper coved and i will put undercoat on it Well, my Lupo's older than yours I reckon, and there isn't an ounce of rust on either arch. One has obviously been changed recently due to someone reversing in but the other I doubt has EVER been cleaned. No rust, no rot, nothing.By the way, I know someone who painted the inside of their arches with hammerite. He was convinced it would stop rust.It didn't. Beware mate.Edit: by the way, I think your car looks ****ing mint in that photo. No need to lower it any more than that imo.

Kent Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 There's not much room as I'm having the same problem myself test fitting, if you feel some lining can be pushed back but where it sticks out furthest .. it's literally metal right behind.

Kent Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Oh that part sorry my bad, I was thinking of right at the back as if a high offset wheel was rubbing.. cut the archliner back and fold it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
