What do people use as wheel arch liners when the arches have been chopped?

I used some unbreakable plastic sheeting, something like perspex (only because I had a big sheet!) I made a template and then cut the plastic to fit. I fixed it in place, and therefore its now removeable, with some 6mm rivnuts. I found that without them the mud and muck went everywhere!

We have made a variety of arch extensions using ABS- it contains some rubber in the material so is less likely to get damaged by flying stones and is the material of choice for dash boards and kick panels on a wide variety of transport cars, buses, trains, planes and cars.
Main attraction for DIY purposes is that it is easlily worked with normal tools and can be line bent over a hot wire to give a tight crease or can be rolled over the edge of a work top or pipe/ broom shank etc to give a smooth radius, once you have made your chosen profile it can be nipped and tucked to follow shape of wing etc. It can also be vac formed to make battery covers etc too
It should be possible to make a rear parcel shelf from it too.
