wheel arches

Does anyone know whether a pair of chrome wheel arches for a 244 would fit a '79 262C Bertone? Thanks.

The 262c bodyshell is identical up to waistheight as the same age 242 and 262 shells. The wheel arches are the same shape as a 244 however there is the door opening by the arch so depending on size of chrome wheel arch whether it will fit - it might have a lip to go onto the door opening - I'm pretty sure if that was the case a careful trim would make it fit. You really could do with a clear picture of the rear arch out of its packing. Presume you are looking at buying these - ask seller if he could send a picture. If you are still not sure post again. Personally I would go for it if this is what you want as the arches are the same shape. best of luck!
