First, after fitting wider wheels or \u003cstrong\u003ewheel spacers\u003c\/strong\u003e, when the tire is flush with or extends beyond the fender: the arch covers the wheel opening. Next, for styling purposes on a \u003cstrong\u003eflared fender\u003c\/strong\u003e build that aims for a wider visual stance. Finally, to conceal a fender with edge corrosion. Be careful not to confuse them with a \u003cstrong\u003ewheel spacer\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is a metal spacer fitted between the hub and the wheel: these are purely external bodywork parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Universal \u003cstrong\u003ewheel arch extensions\u003c\/strong\u003e, wheel arch trim.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eset of 4 identical arches\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Impact- and UV-resistant flexible plastic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ematte black\u003c\/strong\u003e, molded rivet look.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAttachment:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-strength \u003cstrong\u003edouble-sided adhesive\u003c\/strong\u003e, reinforcement screws depending on the surface.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Universal, to be checked against the model and fender curvature before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation and maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAllow \u003cstrong\u003e2 hours\u003c\/strong\u003e for all four arches.
