One decision I made very early in the build of my car - NO self tappers.
You don't seem too impressed with the work the college did Lee.
Absolutely not. It was a total bodge to say the least and has cost me a fair amount to fix since getting it back.

Re: Gentle Reminder
Thanks guys..
Yeah looking at tge zaurst i can remove the end for repacking so will see what can be done.
Just spoke with laura at tiger and shes got me a wing for 120 quid so not too bad..
The self tappers were tiny and im suprised theyve held on this long..
Once it comes il sort both out with plastic bolts...

Re: Gentle Reminder
Most Westfields I’ve had have the arches held on with number plate bolts, nylon, so if you were to hit something it just rips off the arch and leaves the bodywork intact
