removing front arch liners

[audi-tk]

few questions. im lowering car tomorow but the tyre will sit on the arch liner.was thinking to fully remove it. will this affect anything that the liner protects and has anyone removed theirs?

your bumper has fixings at the bottom of the front liner so could make your bumper less sturdy, other than that they stop your arches from getting full of crap and water which will rot them from the inside out

Ok mate thanks. Just want it to not rub. U think the arch lining could be move upwards a bit?

1. It protects your side mount intercoolers so they will get covered in crap from the road
2. Assuming you have a standard air box you 'll be sucking crap into the air box as the inliet to the airbox comes through the inner wing and you will fill you airbox with crap
