Agreed and also a 5 door wide arch nova :eek:

Where is the wide arch picture to work from?

Its been done on a couple of two doors and looks gash tbh.

A 5dr would be a lot harder as you'd either have to work some funky magic on the back doors, or just weld them up

well, got some brackets made up to mount them on the rear,

NBC - shouldnt be too hard to do from scratch, jus cut the arch out, pull it out, an fill in the middle,

Sloth - may look gay, but should be fun, lol

If you really must wide arch a loon, the rears need to go from the b post all the way to the rear lights to avoid looking as horrendous as that thing above!

The plastic arch mouldings? From which model/year? I've been looking into buying a set for a while, but not sure which ones fit best.... and didn't want to end up buying multiple sets of arches off ebay in an attempt to find ones that fit lol

I reckon the sprint style wider arches would look good on a saloon if the rear was extended back.

RJ - its do able, but i think they look better as they are?

to break it down a bit, being a saloon, im gonna get a pug 405 spoiler, nice and subtle,

dude the pug 405 spoilers dont fit very well and need cutting down. my mate had one and it was a no-no.

This is gonna sound really stupid, but put the back arches on backwards and it looks a lot better as they go further to the back. everyone i showed thought it would look stupid but then agreed it looked a million times better:thumb:

having second thoughts tbh,

as it is quite a nice kit,

being the fact it has a GSI repro front n rear bumper, which will only fit this kit,

not only that, i dont know about insurance, surely id have to class it as a bodykit,

jus done a quote, an its upped by 400 pound!.
