There are plenty of 40mm and 50mm ones, surely you won't notice the difference.

i would do mate, but ive gotta have the seats ready for that rare time when i do take more than a person in my car.

i was looking at either rolling the arches or pushing them out. but how does this affect the plastic arches, would they look silly? has anyone got a pic of arches rolled with the plastic trim?
