16v Arches





Ive recently picked up my valver from the bodyshop after it being away for a week having the rear arches done. Whilst I was looking at the car last night I noticed something didnt quite look right but I need your advice before I go back to the bodyshop.

If you stand for example on the drivers side and look at the arch from the right hand side of the rear wheel the arch rises in an arc and then drops down at a slight angle until it then curves down to meet the rear bumper. Meaning, instead of there being an equal amount of tyre showing from right to left there is more on the left hand side than the right which gives the rear of the car a slightly different look. Ive studied pics of my car before and Im sure the rear arch used to flatten out a little at the top before curving down to meet the rear bumper?

Are there 2 different types of arches for the Clio? Has he used a standard Clio arch instead of a 16v arch? Id really appreciate some help on this folks.

Paul.
