23 Front arch modifications for 13-inch wheel fitment First job is to jack vehicle up, place it securely on axle stands, remove wheels/tyres, arch extensions if fitted and front bumper, then create the new arch profile. Doing this free hand is fine for the artistic/experienced. For those not in either category, its advisable to make templates out of thin card or brown paper or such. Start just ahead of the arch peak, and use a gentle curve that passes through the foremost and lowest original plastic arch retaining rivet hole. If not, measure in 1.25-inches from the arch line at bumper platform curve level. Once you're happy with your profile, transfer this to the arch itself by taping the template in place and drawing round it. Remove template and flatten the original arch lip using a haer and dolly preferably (gives a better finish),

24 or Vise grips if not. Now draw a line free hand or stick a strip of 0.50-inch/13 wide masking tape along the arch side of you new arch profile. The section of arch outside this second line needs removing by cutting it away with either a suitable hacksaw or sheet metal cutters. Which ever, be VERY careful not to cut yourself on the very sharp edges. Wearing thick gardening gloves, welder's gloves, or such will help here. Reform the arch lip along the new profile line again using haer and dolly for a neat finish, or vise grips. Once again being very careful not to cut yourself. It isn't essential to re-form this lip, but it adds a great deal of stiffness to the panel so is highly recoended. If you really don't want to re-form the lip, then the arch needs cutting along your first, new arch profile line. Once completed, grind/file the sharp edge off the new arch profile you've formed. Before going any further, fit the new wheels/tyres, lower the car onto it's wheels, and turn the wheels lock to lock to ensure clearance. It's easier to deal with any extra triing now before the job's finished off. Treat the cut metal area with at least something to stop it rusting, if not re-painting it properly.

25 The only way to know exactly how wide the arch extensions you're going to need should be is to fit the wheels/tyres, and measure how far they stick out from the bodywork. Mini Spares Centre/Mini Mania have catalogues that not only show what the arches look like fitted to a car, but also their fitted dimensions. Others, you'll just have to ask.

26 Don't forget to do something about existing arch extension holes if there are any. Either by using an arch extension that covers them up, or filling them in. The latter could be difficult/expensive as to do the job properly will require filling the holes in, then re-painting.
