 Modern wheel arches - Bobby
I was trawling used car forecourts with my aunt trying to find a replacement for her Octavia.

A random observation, which I now can’t unsee, is the amount of cars who have slight protrusions on their rear wheel arches, presumably to comply with rules that say the tyre must not stick out from the bodywork.

Once I noticed this, every car got examined, and many probably only extended by 10 mm or so. But just looked silly! Some had a slight flare on the wheel arch and others seemed to just have an added bit of plastic trim to comply.

Have a look yourself!
