Looking for a nice clean and straight LHD Jimny..... Not any more.
Got one that seems to have been magnatized and driven through the "Big Jimny Bits" parts stores too quickly so it missed a few items.

Until last year all there was on eBay were these "bubble" arches, which I wasn't too keen on
Then along can the "slash cut" arches that I thought were brilliant as they seemed to genuinely allow for bigger tyres...
Then I saw them on a car with aftermarket Chinese bumpers like on my Jimny...
OK on the front...
Gopping on the rear. Designed for narrower Japanese vehicles,
There's a huge gap between the top front courner of the rear bumper and the back courner of the rear arch an there's the difference wth the door panel.

So...
Is anyone still selling the cheap Chinese ones or am I going to have to buy genuine brand ones ?
Like these from Alaplast
Or these Cut Snake ones
They do seem to fit the after market bumpers better
&
Look almost stock painted

Guys, sorry I should have said that I already have Chinese front & rear metal bumpers.
Front one is quite thin BUT the rear !!!!! It's made of repurposed Irn Bru Scottish Girders. I ain't cutting that again plus it cost me a fortune so not willing to hack it about any more than I already did just to make it fit.
Not quite there on the front at the time but much better now.
But I'm looking for this kind of flush fit finish just a bid wider for bigger wheels & tyres.
Which is why I want the bubble style.
