Rear Arches On Astra 1.4 (5 Door Hatch) - Tragushardie
HI,

Im hoping that somebody on here can give me some advice or point me in the right direction as regards the problem with the arches on my astra.

The arches are fairly grotty, large amount of rust etc.., replacing them & the fitting painting cost are going to be larger than I can afford at the moment, I had wanted to try and cut off the rust seal it and pop on some plastic arch trims (like i\'ve done on a few fiestas Ive owned over the years) however I am having difficulty finding such a thing for the astra.

is there plastic arch trims made for the astra? , if so where can they be purchased? or do arches for any other cars fit?

any advice or help greatly appreciated

What year or reg is your Astra? The Mk1 Astra GTE had plastic wheel arch trims fitted, but not sure about later GTE/SRi models.
