.....so what do you think?I could run a poll but cant be bothered, just want a couple of opinions. Mine's lowered 60mm on 17's and i thought it could look good but not sure-does anyone know any feature cars with it done? I think they'd be a straight swap aswell-anyone know?

personally i like the boxy arches of the 3 door

but its each to his own and it will look different
would like to see some pics tho

dont do it, it will look wrong. Seen it before if your gonna do it change the rear arches as well to match otherwise i dont think it works. they are a straight swap as well

sooooo many times have i thaught of fitting 4 door arches to mine (the rears would have to come from a 3 door saloon nova tho)

the reason being is that i want to fit a set of forest arches from a mk2 escort to it so i can run 8x13" wheels, but those arches fitted to the 3 door square arches would look stupid so the only option was to change them to the 4 door style as they are very simmilar to an ecorts anyway.

to be fair round arches on a 3 door nova dont look right, that kit just looks nasty I can think of better ways of spending 1k
