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.

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
