About Wheel Arch Spats

The Jaguar wheel arch spat is a side cover for the wheel arch.

Bolted or fixed with clips to the wing of the car, the wheel arch arches above the wheel and can be covered with a Jaguar wheel arch spat, which covers the upper part of the wheel and tyre, and in some cases hides the entire wheel.

The Jaguar wheel arch functions to provide a space which houses the wheel, keeping the wheel within the body of the car. Offering protection to the wheel arch, the Jaguar wheel arch spat helps it to function as a protective barrier, stopping mud, stones and other debris from the road flying up and hitting the car. The Jaguar wheel arch spat also gives a sleek look to the exterior of the car. Wheel arch spats are often chosen by car owners to enhance the car's appearance and styling. It offers additional protection from minor damage such as scrapes and dings and also adds detail or accents to the car's styling.

Exposed to all weather conditions and damage from stones and other road debris, the Jaguar wheel arch spat will deteriorate eventually. Damage can occur if impacted in a crash and a replacement Jaguar wheel arch spat will need to be fitted.  Wheel arches come in a variety of designs and are specific to car make and model, so it's important to buy a wheel arch spat that's compatible with the make, model and year of your car. When you buy a good quality replacement Jaguar wheel arch spat you can be certain you'll have a part that fits your car properly and will perform well.

Jaguar trivia

• The 24 Hours of Le Mans, one of the most gruelling and famous race events in the world, has been won by Jaguar an astonishing seven times. Their first victory was back in 1951.
• Jaguar isn't a big name in F1, but they did have a go. They raced between 2000 and 2004 but didn't perform well enough to justify the costs. They managed a less than stellar ninth place in their final race.
• PM Margaret Thatcher was determined to keep Jaguar as a British company, and in 1984 she announced that the brand was protected from foreign purchasing. The government retained a 50% share of the company until it became clear that foreign investment was essential as 1990 rolled around.
• The 2014 Superbowl advert for Jaguar featured Brit actors Ben Kingsley and Mark Strong, with a terrified Tom Hiddlestone hanging out of a helicopter as it flew across London. Not many people know that the driver used for this advert was The Stig (Ben Collins).
• Transporting a load of Jaguars isn't easy. When being loaded onto trains, every car is driven by a driver that isn't wearing a seatbelt. Those drivers aren't allowed to wear belts, and they even have to get rid of any metal eyelets on their shoes. This is all to prevent the possibility of scratches, and what's more, the drivers aren't even allowed to touch the outside of the cars!
