Home made wheel arch extentions
I was wondering, instead of buying some expensive wheel arch extentions. for 1 or 2 days of playing a year, could i bolt a piece of 5mm thick rubber on the inside of the arch that sticks out a few inches, would it be legal?
I think it would be legal, because the idea of the arch sticking out further than the wheel, is to stop debris being picked up by the wheel and hitting other vehicles.
So what do you guys think?
Thanks

There's three ways of doing things,
1) The Right Way,
2) The Wrong Way
3) My Way.
2 & 3 are usually the same.

Re: Home made wheel arch extentions
Thats what most of ours are.
My current ones are plate steel but when i fit my new front clip i'm going to do a small 2 or 3 inch steel arch sticking out and then fit bigger runber arches to that.

Are yours just bolted to the arch?
