aftermarket body coloured wheel arches?

Hey you guys. I'm Sim and I'm new here. I'm planning to buy a 90 pickup any day soon. I've worked out that I prefer body coloured wheel arches (they look better with Boost alloys) but second hand landies with this option seem more expensive. I was wondering if anybody knew of a place to get coloured replacements for the black plastic-looking things that I've seen on most of the cheaper pickups. Alternatively I would be happy to paint my own (I have a compressor) but I don't know where to get matching paint for 2003 models onwards. Are the wheel spats removable for painting? I'd really appreciate some advice from somebody who's tried something similar. Thanks in advance.

Sim.

Hi

Can't you get body coloured wheel arches from paddocks, JSF, Rimmerbros or Famous 4. I'm sure if you take the wheel arches along to the nearest car paint sprayers with you're colour code then I'm sure they will happily paint the for you for a modest fee. The Colour code will be some where in youre engine bay/door floor

Ahh so they are removable then! Excellent. I'll try those places you mentioned. Thanks a lot!

yes they are. just becareful not to crack the mounting holes around the 'removable riverts' on the wheel arches.

get them spray painted and just pop them back. nice. how abt body coloured alloys with an edge trim colour. yup, i did that on mine. looks really unique but watch the scratches.
