I just received a pair of rear arches from AGM in traffic yellow. Wow. They are impeccable. The shiny surfaces are shiny. The inner side is neat and uniform (and sanded down). The edges are neatly trimmed. They don't feel flimsy at all, they are definitely more rigid than the NTS wings I had, and probably lighter. And the price is about 60% of what the competition asks for (85 quid for a pair rear arches vs. 150 at Equinox and 140 at Gillham).

Agree 100% with you on that one...:)
Don't be fooled by the price either, just because they are cheaper doesn't mean they are of poorer quality totally the opposite.:cool:
When we picked up our kits Alan told us he had made new moulds for the rear wings and Tony's were top notch...:cool:
The quality of the GRP is superb, as Alga said the inside is sanded down and edges are good.
Highly recommend AGM to anyone.

Here you go, David.







On a closer look I found a couple imperfections. There is something like traces of a different color embedded in the gel coat in one of the arches, like a slight smudge of dirt you cannot wipe away. There are also some minor surface imperfections in one place. But they are not really visible, hard to photograph :-)

Here's the full gallery:

They look really nice. I'm waiting for my kit to be made (hopefully will collect it on Friday).

Please could you tell me how long your arches are? I am doing my exhaust and want to make sure it don't make it too long.

Thanks

Collecting mine next week too! :D

Are yours red?

They are, apparently mine are being cut from the molds Monday morning.

My AGM arches are 795 mm between the inner lower corners. They seem to be exactly the same size as the Triton/Gillham ones. The fronts of my arches are 18 cm forward off the lower corner of the side panel.
