well yeah you can blend them in but the problem is after a while the paint between the arch extension and wings will start cracking and then would need repainting.
if that was not the case would have got them blended in mate. i want wider wheels but not too keen on the arches the way they look without being blended in confuses me

cared: as long as there fixed to the body very well, then fill the gap with a good flexible filler then an overlay of fibreglass single layer(very thin) i'd think you'd be ok as i bet the Lexus doesn't flex/twist as much as the old minis? :biggrin:

Blended quite a few set of arch mouldings on in the past mate, (all mini's) and think i only ever had one set crack the paint, which was my own fault for jumping off a bridge cared: as long as there fixed to the body very well, then fill the gap with a good flexible filler then an overlay of fibreglass single layer(very thin) i'd think you'd be ok as i bet the Lexus doesn't flex/twist as much as the old minis? :biggrin:

If this is done properly, there should be no meovement between the two arches
To add extra strength where the arch overlaps, the old metal arch underneath can be cut and feathered out to meet the underside of the new arch extension. This then has a layer of fibreglass to bond it all together.

Asi looks nice stav.
thanks mate, but think my intercooler may need replacing, as the fins on the front are very brittle
