Good to hear your car is coming on well Gary.


The company who supplied the rear arch protection film to FMC was a company called Armourfend. I was told by them many years ago as I had my car fitted with the full kit that they offered FMC two versions, a short film and an extended film. The short version was chosen by Ford. They still do the exact protection on request and offer both versions so ask for the standard if you are wanting the original type.

Part numbers:

FD/1015/10A Rear Wheel Arches (Standard)
FD/1015/10 Rear Wheel Arches (Large)

Can you let me know the prices you are quoted Gary as I know they have increased a fair bit from back in the day.

[Garymk1rs]

Thanks for that info Clayton I'll let you know when I contact Ford when you say large is it just taller in height or is it wider as well I did get new ones when I bought the car but not sure who supplied them, but they go from bottom of arch to top edge of body moulding, I was trying to find a car that shows how they should look but it's not easy to see!

Have a merry Xmas

Cheers Gary

The ones you would have had Gary would be the original standard type if they finished at the top of the body mouldings. The larger type run around the arch face and are extended in height.


Here is a picture of the large arch protection.

Yes that's correct Clayton, the ones I have are the standard type, I'll let you know how I get on

Just checked the finis number on these for the price from Ford back in approx 2005 and they were priced at £69.43 GBP for the kit, very expensive back then.
