i might be barking up the wrong tree here and making myself look a fool but these are arch replacements not something you stick over the top. Your meant to cut ure old ones out and weld these in so any photos people might have will be of just a normal mk1 wheel arch and you shouldent be able to tell the difference.

Its just the way you worded your post sudjests you want them as an add on rather than a replacement. (soory if im wrong)

Not wrong, the Mk 1 is somewhat famous for the dissolving rear wheel arch, at least
in the US it is...

Yeah I'm pretty sure they're replacements rather than add ons. Pretty sure as in 99.9997%. But I've never bought or used any myself.

yep there replacments chop out the old rusty wheel arch and weld those in just done my mk1 rear arches as they were very rusty when i bought it hope this helps m8 the arches i used had more metal on than those like where the fake vents go and at top of wheel arch was closer to the body line than those are i suppose it just depends how rusty youre arches are if not too bad youd get away with using those ones but if like mine the whole wheel arch was a mixture of rust fibreglass and filler id get the bigger ones. i have seen them on ebay for sale dunno if theres any on there atm
