Trim_4_Wheel Arch Curves.

Just to explain what I'm on about, here's a pic :-

What do most peeps use to cover these curved members? And where can it be obtained?

I recall ST builders were able to use rear wheel covers to fit over the accompanying chassis. However, this is an old MK chassis.

Has any body used beaten/moulded ally sheet in this area?

I used ally carpet edge trim from B&Q - gives a nice radiused edge and is easily bent to follow the curve. Started by rivetting the bottom in place then bent/formed and riveted around the chasis rail.
