Those ones in your pic look like they'll need holes drilling?

I'd also like to know this. Seems most appear the same as terrafirma, flat dog, britpart wider arches that need drilling.

MPS sell something similar and some on eBay look like similar design.

i haven't seen any that don't. I read you can get rubber strips that can glue to existing arches which keeps it reasonably stock looking.

Keep meaning to post on this, I was in Iceland (country!) recently and saw some amazing vehicles. Among them were a number of Defenders with extended arches which looked very factory, no holes... Unfortunately never saw drivers so was not able to enquire as to supplier.
Will post up some pictures. |

Can I ask why you don't want to drill? The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results.

The body is in really good condition and I like the idea of it being reverse-able if need be

factory looking wider arches without need to drill seems like a big gap in the market!

Nice photos, however those are clearly raised and it seems like extensive body modifications!

Posted the white ones for interest but feel the blue is far more subtle
Even so, shows proof of concept. Really can't see why there are not more wide arches with hidden fixings. Regardless though, if you want really wide arches that look factory, they are available but have never seen them offered. |
