Just got new fiberglass arches for my Disco :D so I thought I would have a go at fitting them.
My Disco is a 300tdi, the one with the thick rubber strip down the side, so I had the bright idea :idea: of peeling the strip off making the arches easier to fit and hopefully looking better.
Problem #1 How do you remove the glue deposit left behind?
Problem #2 I didn't realise the wings and doors were different :oops: on the models with the rubber strip and they had big square holes where the strip fitted.
So now it's either put the strip back (which I don't really want to do, I think it looks better without) or fit chequer plate to cover holes.
Where's a good place to buy chequer plate (it will need to come up to the swage line in order to cover the holes, all the kits I have seen up to now stop below the rubber moulding so are no use??
Thanks.

Use Autoglym Intensive tar remover to get rid of the glue, it works a treat..

So does plain old un-leaded petrol and it'll probably be a cheaper option!
only answer on the chequer plate really is buy a sheet and cut your own.
or replace the rubber moulding with black tape when you,ve finished the arches! :wink:

...........or phone those that make the kits and ask for what YOU want and not what they sell!! :D
