were arches a option on brm's from factory?

[ranzrs]

does any1 know if there brm's had a factory option of wheel a arch kit??

[Adam]

Nope. They came as an option for the MG ZR, but never the BRM.

[ranzrs]

oh right, ive got wheel arches on my brm and was told they were a rare option from rover??? with a purchases receipt from rover???

but ive never seen another brm with arches

[Gazzati]

Was this the one for sale on ebay? They are an option from rover, but weren't when until the mgzr was made. Someone has had them fitted as the arches are the same on the 25 and 200, but I wouldn't want to look behind them ;)

[ranzrs]

on ebay? i didnt buy my brm off ebay

oh ok i have no idea hence why i asked the question

[Adam]

They were designed to go with the ZR splitter, skirts and rear splitter which is why they don't quite reach to the bottom of the bumpers/sides. Never an option on the BRM but were a much later option sold by Rover I'm afraid.

Here is the car, which is still for sale doh!

cheers 4 that lads

dont know now weather to keep them on or take them off??????

[Adam]

I've thought about them before and sometimes I think yes....sometimes no....hmm....

[ranzrs]

i know what you mean

i was thinking about just keeping a stock look? or maybe a euro look ( slam it on some borbet / deep dish alloys)

mmmmmmm????????

[Gazzati]

I like them, but they need a wider wheel to fill them out abit. I would be careful taking them off, as they may have been added to hide the dreaded "R"!! Hmmm, I might buy the one on ebay now :closedeyes:

And then he reads the advert properly DOH!!

[ranzrs]

lol

i think ill take a look at that 1 on ebay 2 lol

cant w8 2 actually get my brm on road, just getting the arch done, as its just started to bubble

[DarthRaiden]

Theres a BRM in Norwich with the arches on.
