Wheel arch "spats"
Permalink  

Hi All,

I've just purchased my fifth van, a Windsor Rapid, and I noticed a chip out of one of the maroon coloured wheel arch "spats".  It's a 2005 model van and Windsor has changed hands with a major dealer proving less than helpful when I attempted to source possible replacements.

Does anyone know of a supplier or an after market fabricator of these dress trims?

 

TIA for any advice.  Cheers.

Hi,

I did the same several years ago with a Jayco pop-top.

I tried my local caravan service centre and they located the spats on their computer.

Apparently Coast to Coast were a supplier. Also, check on Ebay sellers and if you can identify the correct one it should be cheaper.

Another source could be caravan wreckers yards...Google it.

The above is how I was able to source the part I needed.

thanks Dick0, if it was a Jayco it'd be easier as they're pretty thick on the ground.  Apparently there's a plastics fabricator here that may be able to make them, could become a growth industry!
