Pretty certain that you are going to be left with holes where the extended arches are fitted. They are much higher than standard ones ,going by the relative position to the side repeaters.
A lot of filling and painting

, although the standard arches in gloss black would look much better in my view.

Thanks all already had a look as I've posted in my previous post, so old arches can be put back in, but just asking for others opinions on what colour would look better with the matte grey look

I must admit to expecting an 'I've broken down' type post, given the title

However, given all the other matt bits you already have, then that would seem the way to go with wheel arches. Darren

Black arches will look fine, it's what it would have had out of the factory.

Mine is the same colour, just without all the bolt-on "goodies". I actually have one arch gloss and one matt, so perfect to help you choose

So is the general thought matte then? Or gloss I was thinking matte but wasn't too sure

It's your car.

But I would go for the matte finish ones.
