Wheel Spats
Hi Guys,
I have been looking around for some wheel spats for my 57 4dr sedan, and have found some on ebay which have come off a 2dr. DO you know if they will fit? IE is the rear wheel arch the same for both 4dr and 2dr 57's. Cheers Neddysmith |

Hey there, Neddy!
Yep, all the same. There's a set on Ebay in Australia: #200496998260. Mine came from CARS Inc, and everyone says they are a good fit, but mine are yet to be painted, fitted etc. Just got to hope that any work done on repairing and shaping the wheel arches through restoration has not altered the specified shape! Cheers John |

 Wheel spats are fender skirts. Had to look up the # to figure that one out.  Lloyd

Like the leather 'spats' that cover ceremonial military boots, I guess. Only these are covering rubber.
