Worth mentioning that buying brand new doesn't guarantee anything other than it'll have the studs in place. The quality of the kits is that poor that one rear arch doesn't fit the same as the next (fronts and side skirts are generally OK if new).

I have new rear arches but didn't use them - I tried eight different pairs of rear arches before finding a set that kept close to the bottom of the rear quarter, and didn't bow out on the bottom right hand side of the arch.

Maybe you'll get lucky!!

Sorry I don't. The set I ended up using were actually second hand. Thankfully they they are cheap enough used these days to buy and try.

yes one guy ive found has a single nearside brand new fiesta rs turbo rear arch but wants £130, that's more than what new series 1 arches go for. possibly found a source abroad but i may buy a few used sets, seeing which fits best and re-studding them with stainless threads. :)
