arches

helllo

i am new to this site and I am looking into buying an a2.

can anyone tell me if the the 1.6fsi have wider arches?

can the arches be take off? because they are plastic right?

and what size front brake does a tdi have? is it 256mm? or 288?

thanks for your help in advance

Hi kam, welcome to the A2oc

The front arches are part of the wings but the rears are separate pieces and removable. Front wings and rear arches are plastic as you say. I'm almost certain the arches are the same size on all models.
Front brakes on all models (except the 'eco' 1.2 tdi) are 256mm but the 1.6fsi and 90tdi sport have 232mm rear discs instead of drums.
Let us know when you find a car.

Cheers Spike
