Default 56/57 wheel arches
Are 56 & 57 wheel arches the same.

Theres a pair of 56 rear fender skirts available would they fit a 57?

NO!

The '56 has more arch to it. So the '56 skirts will not fit a '57.

Hi Angelo
I know they're not the same because there was a 57 2dr hard top for sale over here a few years ago, and it looked really weird at the rear wheel arches, I found out that it had been drag raced and the wheel arches cut out, then replaced by some 56 arches which the PO did not know were different.
