Ordering some genuine Wood & Picket Arches from the UK to cover my new 12x6 Superlights as the Works arches are to thin. They have a summer special on - Set of 4 with rubber for 50 GBP and as the pound is fairly strong i`m getting them. It will cost 60 GBP to ship them but two pairs is about the same. Any takers ?

Cheers
Garth

Ring them up, you will find the cost of freight will be less.
It is just a guide on there site.
Cheers Pete

Edit: For the same flares from Minispares UK it is 24 GBP for freight, they should be able to do it for the same price.

i think they are cheaper from W&P

i got some a month ago from W&P
i sent them to relatives in the UK who posted it snail mail, saved some $

Thanks guys - Year, i sent them a an email and they came back with 60 GBP where as, there site states 80 GBP. Seems very pricy but hey...

They look good ! Are they the ones that wrap around the rear beaver panel ? What wheels have you fitted on your Mini and got any pictures of the finished product after fitting. Whats the quality like ?

Thanks for your help.

So I take it that the arches fit the van ok then Nick?

I'm in need of some new arches and they look nice so I'd be keen to find out costs.

Cooper 93, let me know the combined price for two sets and I'll figure out postage price from your place to mine.
It may be just the same for me to get them direct but if we can both save something all's good.

Sure will do ! I will call W&P tonight ( there morning ) and get the low dowm. My feeling is, it more the size than the weight so two sets sent together must be more cost effective.

Will let you know tomorrow hopfully ( I tried calling them before during normal business hours but got no response )

Ordered some W&Ps over the phone. Was no cheaper to send two really so best to call them up and order them direct. Mine were 100 GBP shipped which is pretty good for high qulity arches. Nice to add some class too.
