im after some too actually,and was thinking the same thing!
i asked at my local mini club,but the only ones anyone had were rusty.
but apparently you dont have to get mini specific ones,as most spots fit any car,and they can be bought from most garages, car accessory shops etc.

got standard wheels on at the moment,which look a bit odd with the wide arches. the wide wheels were messing up my bearings so they had to come off.
gonna buy some standard arches soon (and spots!)

thanks for that goldenface - looks lie a good site to be fair
@Dicky, its looking good dude! you are right about the arches tho - and im glad you showed that coz i was gonna get the wider arches and wack them on (before getting the wheels) will wait now....
this week/weekend im planing on a lot of spraying (from the arches to body work).... so hopefully next week i'll have it looking almost properly finished on the outside (for now).....
