Inner Wheel arch liners

[paulcas]

Any idea what material the inner wheel arch liners are made off and where can one buy this.

I want to see if there is a cheaper alternative than going back to DNA - no offence guys  , as I messed up one sent to me recently.

Hi Paulie. I looked into his when I was fitting mine up as I thought mine might be too thick to bend into shape. You'd think it be easy to find sheets of black plastic like this but I couldn't really. Can't understand it. Madman might know.

What about this? http://www.sheetplastics.co.uk/?gclid=CK6FppnajMICFSfHtAod4HsA1Q

Delivery might be a bit though.

Lol, tell me about it. Looked for some at the last 2 kit car shows and nothing. Bought something from fleabay that I thought might do but and it shattered as soon as I stressed it.

it's similar to the material I bought and shattered. Might give them a ring though and tell them what I want to do with it. Thanks for the suggestion.

You need something like polycarbonate or PETG. Both are impact resistant and can easily be cut , shaped, drilled etc.. Acrylic although you can drill it will crack from a stone impact.  You can actually get a nice textured sheet in black, 2 or 3mm should do nicely.. You can hit both with a hammer at it will just bounce off it!

Normally come in a 8" x 4" sheet, try a local plastic company. You should just be able to roll it up to fit it in your car.

Paul you need some polypropylene sheet about 2 mm thick mate

I was getting some for free from a plastic firm aprox 15 miles from me, I could get sheets of this and foamlux also Dibond  all marked in some way seconds, unfortunately they have now closed I used to roll up with Large van and fill it, up to 10ft x 6ft sheets but mostly 8x4, various thickness from 2mm to 10mm but sadly that does not help you

Hi Paulcas, I had to remake the front inner arches for mine and found a company in Basildon that did this type of product they sell it in sheets various sizes, thickness etc I got exactly what I needed they rolled it up and it fitted on back seat of car. Easy to cut with snips or blade and can be formed to give a 90 degree bend if you use and edge to bend it over. I tried scoring it before bending but that made it snap. They will prob ship it if you ask them as flat sheets rather than the roll I bought. Drop me a PM if you don't find anyone and I will dig out the details.
