I'm planning a 914-6 conversion with GT arches.
Question is metal or fibreglass ? Obviously metal is more original and probably worth more if I was ever to sell the car but quite a bit more expensive and I already have a set of fibreglass arches.
What I'm interested in is if people find there is any practical benefits in one over the other. eg rust, ease of fitting, cracking paint, strength, etc.

Advice welcomed
