    Hi all,

    Just wondering why the two wheel arches in a VR Ute are different on both sides. From memory, the drivers side wheel arch extends about half a foot longer than the left.

    Under the wheel arch is a big excess with absolutely nothing in it. What is it in the different models that requires the single larger arch. Is it possible to buy matching wheel arches to tidy it up a bit (pedantic, i know).

    Cheers for any info guys, did a google search with no luck.

    Could be in the wagon model, that space is used by the fuel filler neck ;)

    Didn't think of the wagon. Damn Holden being cheapo's by the sounds of it.

    Hope someone makes aftermarket arches or something so I can tidy it all up a bit.
