M6 flanged nuts and bolts but not steel, nylon! 
If its broke, fix it. If it aint broke, take it apart and find out how it works!

M6 Stainless steel nuts, bolts and penny washers.
Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

Ive just fitted my arches, had the day off work and got them all done now with lights fitted, i was worried that i would get them in the wrong place
as there such a big bit but it all went well with no probs, i used M6 X 25mm hex s/s bolts with penny washers and nyloc nuts and the tadpole rubber
between the arch and the bodywork.
Good luck
Tommy

rear arch fitment
Dont forget to put the wheels on the car first to get correct position, ie, centre the arches to the wheels rather than position to the bodywork, we
used stainless nuts and bolts with stainless penny washers, best of luck, pete and bec.

At the recent Newark show every Luego there had the rear arches fitted differently I got my car sitting on its wheels the centralised the arch
measuring from the center of the wheel with both front and rear edges level with the side and rear panel. Looks better than a huge gap above the wheel
IMHO

i put mine on last month spent ages measuring and marking them out did a reall neat job with piping round and everything made the car look nearly
finished.
The car is still up in the air and i got a set of new rear disks and pads and fitted them with new bearings last night! i put a wheel on to check
bearing was fitted right and then realised my arch is not central its nearly a inch out !!!! 
so im not happy today did touch the car today just turned lighs off and went home
some people dream of sucsess, others just get on and do it !!
