virtually mate .. got a set of 16x 9 borbet euro deep dish alloys .. doin flaired style arches front and back with bumper flaired to match .. smooth as poss .. then a 2 tone paint job ..

decided on a 1.6 gsi lump instead of the original 2 ltr as ive got a mk1 for that to go in ..

so poss thottle boddie or twin carbs or somethin .. is gonna be euro styled but with the mod'd touch to it too so its still stands its own at shows :D

i hope lol :D

looks nice mate, don't do a two tone paint job, why don't you choose a nice bright colour, or white, euro cars look nice in white aswell :wink:

nah lol i might of explained wat i wanted a lil rong .. lol

wanted to keep the flaired part of the nova arch but take away the square flat edge of it and flair the round arch outwards .. kinda gettin best of both parts :D ..

yeah wheels are slightly on the sizey side .. usually used on things like beemas lol

Thats because I haven't posted yet :lol:

Seriously though, its not to my taste, I'm not a fan of the rounded flared arch on top of the squared arch euro style look thing... but looks like you're doing a top quality job with it :)

I asked the same question and got no responce, i've seen the same work done a Cavalier and GTE Astra usine MK3 or 4 Escort Arches, they're pretty meaty and i've seen the Odd RST with a set of 18's under em so i reckon they're them so.

nah, they are panels he bought, im guessin mk2

cheers there ste lol .. yeah mk2 golf gti rear arch repair panels were used

only 11 quid each arch so were a perfect cheap buy incase i dint like me .. but they go on well i reckon ..

think i might need to change the wheels to roughly 18's as the cars got about a 80 mm drop and could go alot lower before it gets near em lol
