Yes Keithy, the arches in the picture. I like that compact non-flarey look, it's very clean and tidy. I'll have to have a dig into it and find out.

When you say arches do you mean the ones on the vehicle you pictured? as that vehicle I believe has a different shell to the one we get....I "think" they are metal.

I was digging around online to see if I could find out if the Japanese wings are different from UK ones or if the JB23 was a smaller size being a Kei car and came across this video

well, I think I found the answer to the arch trim.

Judging by the look of a bare wing panel from the UK version, it would appear that the arches are different, so I'd probably have to replace the body to do get the look of the non fatboy arches.

EDIT: However, I'm sure where there is a will, there's a way.

Confirmation that the arches are definitely not the same in this video:



It also looks at how the front grill and bumper are fitted. I'll have to check out the front of my motor to see if it would be possible to change the front bonnet and fascia with the fittings on my model (when the weather is not miserable, windy and wet).
