Very pretty mate! I had to make the arch lip repairs for the Carledo by hand and it was very time consuming and laborious. Wish these had been available then!

Is the front arch lip different from a dolly one?

Re: Why don't we do more for the short tail cars? they asked
Comparing the front of arch lips, it would be possible to produce a front lip section for the Dolomite; in the current absence of offside wheel arch repairs would this be useful/in demand?
The reason the FWD/Toledo won't fit is the Dolomite rear arch flares out further so the composite angles are different, which puts a twist onto the FWD lip section when offered up to a Dolomite.
