The rear half of the arch as opposed to the wing, assumimg you have any sill and arch left underneath for it to attach to then its just a matter of chopping the old one out and welding a new one in its place....sounds simple but you will need some patience.

Fox Viper van alloys.

Do they fit on a transit 96 plate.?

They are nice and would snap em up at £335

My next question as theres a few here from my last few posts is bonnet vents.

Would it look cool with 2 side vents and a raised intake in the middle or just vents.

Im trying to find the correct vent. Some guy said stick to RS cosworth vents.

Are these the sensible approach.

Also the bonnets new and already been resprayed.Am i better at this stage with stick on go faster vents or will it ruin paint job cutting in air intakes?

You need to contact them to see if they do the viper in 160PCD, they didnt used to but it depends on demand I suppose.
