| took me ages to get the front right on mine, found out it was because one of my wings is non-genuine so the arch does line up like the other side etc.

is it just the wings that dont line up? or does the splitter at the front not line up right either with the ground? Dan | |

mine are the same. the nearside it at 1 & a 1/4 inches from the bottom, but the offside is at 1 inch it makes no sense, as my arches are geniune. i think it must be some of the bushes are more worn on one side than on the other.... | |
