Hey guys, i have a set of Miglia arches which are getting fibreglassed on my clubman next week. i have 75 yellow devil clubman with 13x7 charcoal centre wheels. The car is going to get a respray in yellow devil again, but with a black racing stripe down the passengers side with a thinner stripe parallel to that. Anyways i was wanting opinions on whether to get the arches painted black or yellow devil during the respray im stuck on a decision.

Black goes well with yellow, and with red too. 8)

I got them from huddersfield spares www.minispare-online.co.uk. i think to get the arches and have them posted here it cost around $250 at the time, which i thought was pretty reasonable.

they would look nicer black but if your fiberglassing them into the body then a colour change would look funny in my opinion, so if its a blend into the body leave them yellow

Hell yeah, black arches on a yellow body. You'd be mad to paint them yellow.

im telling you now, if they are blended in to the gaurds they wont look right in a different colour. black looks better yes, my flares are black, but they arent glassed into the body. youd wanna hope your painter is very very good with the line tape
