Don't worry I had a look back through your posts and found out you have a 2 door HC.... Right not a lot exists for the HC, I know of one person making HB wide arches, they might fit but are not cheap!

Other wise its mini or escort stuff bodged onto the car..... :D

Only car that had wide arches were a few racing HB's as per the link I sent you.... otherwise it was the Old Nail kits for the HC firenza, which isn't a wide arch is a whole wings jobbie....

Vauxhalls are not like the lucky mini and escort fraternity, where parts can be bought off a shelf today and fitted tomorrow, here you have to do the hard graft!!!!

Good luck with what ever you decide to do, just don't start cutting wings up and then decide you don't like the car any-more....That's a wasted car and there and very little left now. :goodluck:

Here's the Flat front Nail kit I've been fitting to my Firenza Sport SL since 1979!!

It's not an easy kit to find and then even harder to fit properly! Take my advice and keep it standard!
