Mk1 steel bubbles, and mk2 alloy arches

Hi all,
Well sold one of my babies to free up some cash etc, so time to treat the mk1 and mk2.
Where is the best place to get mk1 steel bubble arches from?
And where best to get mk2 alloy arches and chin spoiler from?
Guess I could put up with fibreglass ones on the mk2 if they are good fit.
Anyone know how these fair at rego time?

    Hi mate, Express Steel Panels do those Steel Bubbles and GRP4 can supply  the Tarmac Arches. Remember to ask Torsten at GRP4 for the Forum discount. Hope this helps.

    The Tarmac arches and front spoiler on my Mk2 came from Prepfab. I chose them cause they offer countersunk holes as an extra. They also threw in the flush rivets to fit them. They are a very good fit.

    My next set of arches, for project #2,  are coming from Gartrac.

    Be aware that the front spoiler is expensive to ship due to its size. I had mine bent in half and this saved big $. Alloy is very soft and easy to straighten.

    Looks like some good options here and abroad, might be able to do a deal if buying it all together to beat the cost of freighting seperately
