Fitting Wheel Arch Kit On Yeti

So I found this aftermarket Yeti wheel arch kit online and I didn’t hesitate.

Where I did take my time though was in figuring out the best way to attach it to my wheel arches.

Screwing or pop-riveting into the bodywork is out of the question👎

So the choice can only be the double-sided PE-Foam tape.
It seems I will need about three rolls of it for this wheel arch kit.
The online reviews are unanimous… this tape is what I must use if I want plastic to stick to the outside of my Yeti. 

And still be there in five years!

I have already used it to attach my roof spoiler and I'm very happy so far.

My wheel arch kit arrives...

I wipe over my Yeti's arches with white spirit.

And brush out crud from behind the arches.

Strips of double-sided foam tape cut as needed.

I offer up the first plastic arch and press hard.

This wheel arch kit is a good fit

I complete both rear arches and move to the front.

So far, so good.

I need to remove this screw...

Then tuck the new plastic arch underneath the lining and put the screw back...

I repeat the same on the other front side.

All in all about an hour and a half of work.

And I am definitely happy with these new arches.

I won't annoy the foam tape by jet washing my Yeti just yet.

The cost of this wheel arch kit was the equivalent of £80 plus the foam tape.

Good times. 

Thanks for visiting.

And feel free to stay tuned for more Yeti modifications I have planned.
