i think it would look really good, but would b a bit of a pain if u had to take the arches or bumper off (but then again the main reason to take either off would be to get them painted or repaired)
So id say go for it!!

Dont bother it will crack sooner or later.

Well, it might not but I wouldn't want to risk it. Putting all your eggs in one basket so to speak.

I think the chances of it cracking are very high - as both the arch and the bumper may flex etc.

little car park nudge on rear bumper and it will crack.

Or if anything happens to either arch or bumper all 3 will have to come off!
