Hi Matt - really nice to have you along. Welcome to the site.

Your only real option is to make the arches wider, which can also look pretty cool. I'm guessing that you've not added a spacer or anything extra. How much do they stick out - cos you don't want to end up doing a wide body conversion?

Yeah theres no spacers, its just the fronta pair which stick out about 20mm
Dunno whether i need to buy 106 specific (on ebay which r more pricey!) or i have seen a universal pair for peanuts on a website called speeding.co.uk? dont really want to drill nething either (not being fussy)
cheers for help!

I bet the extra work required on the universal pair is far more trouble than it is worth - I would go with the 106 specific. Have you chatted to a local bodyshop - they could probably sort something out for you cheaply and give a nice finish.
