Does'nt look as extreme as the rally x, but looks to give nice clearnce for some 8" wide euro rims....?
Really want to know about quality and fit.....
They are just a bond on kit. not a proper kit. you will need to still cut the wing to bond these ontop. i wouldnt buy akit from them tbh. not at that price for a cheep kit thats not a proper one

you dont need a wide arch kit to fit 8j wheels :D
not without either bending arches out or stretching tyres .....both crap...

do they have a bad rep?
any kits only as good as the person who fits it imo, ask your bodyshop what they think of it and wether they could make it fit
i do my own body work mate, fitting would be by me, just wondered if anyone had bought one yet, if the moulding's dogsh%t i would'nt bother with it..... would be a shame to waste £200 of build money...:cry:

I new somone who bought one of these, or one very similar, was horrible. Water got in under the kit the quality wasnt great.....Hard to match it to the car.Just a head ache

i would prefer to make my own wide arches using my existing front wings, cut along the middle swage line leaving an inch at each end of the wing, pull the bottom half out by an inch or so and weld a plate in to the gap, thats how i did my last ones, no fibreglass crap

I've always thought that to be the best idea, if you can be bothered.
Will probably do mine soon, then I can have some more choice of wheels.

Short of fitting hatch rear quarters, the fibre glass over quarter was the only other option really..... think i'll just run it like this for a while...
cheers fellas:thumb:
the rear quaters look ok but the front wings look a right pain
