xr2i arches for a 5 door mk3 fiesta fitment

Postby lardass93 on Tue May 03, 2011 5:18 pm

Hi guys after just sticking the arches to the the body work (over the rear door so it wont open) which looked okay but MOT people hated me for that so i now want to cut them so the rear door opens . . . so for anyone who has done this or has a good idea on how to do this . . . ima make a tempalate of the door from which i will lay out on the arches, HOWEVER what would you suggest using to get a clean cut . . . and if any could suggest a good bonding material so it sticks the the car that is also water proof ... many thanks guys
