Wide arch kit?

[Anonymous]

Yes? No? what do you lot reckon. I would be widening the track at the same time. Anyone done it /used it? Any comments appreciated as I don't know naff all about kits and styling. I'm mainly interested in the performance but its got to look OK as well

Colin Smith had a wide-arch Nova quite a while ago ..he showed me a piccy of it, with the DTM mirrors that he was selling.

It looked ok, was a rally car.

thing is the rally boys take "just bash the bumper on with a few screws" as a good fit as there bits always get ripped off.

my mate bought the rally cross kit from prima racing and the fit was a bit crappy

another mate bought sum real rally arches from a bloke who did rallying in a nova (funnily enough) and the fit was complete shite (they just whack them on so it doesnt matter)

I wouldn't get them, they look pretty poor. A few have looked o.k but most look shite !

:D:D 2.0l 8v. It actually works !!!! :D:D

[Anonymous]

i agree with damian they look pritty poo!!

......but as with most car styling its totaly up 2 you, if you like it then go for it

will still look poo tho!!!!! ;)

[Anonymous]

Micky, be fair, if your putting a widearch kit on a car you've gotta be expecting alot of work!
And just think, all that fibreglass, you car will be nice and light (until you blend it with filler) and it won't rust!

Did anyone see the Purple Nova with Wide Arch Kit and Lotus Carlton fornt Bumper in Lax Power last year? Was at Max Live this year to. I thought that looked really nice. Must have taken a lot of work though. Theres a wide arch that I see on my way home- Beeson, Notts. He's only got wide rears and it looks shite.

[Anonymous]

no the point is

my mate who bought the full kit expected the work.

i watched him fit the kit, my mate who bought the real rally arches had a nitemare (as in no way were they gonna look nice)

spend the money on s the proper prima kit and not the "rally" arches u can get

ive got the rally x kit, and it does look ok, but took loads of work to make it fit, also needs big wheels to look rite.

when i say loads of work i mean LOADS!!!!! of work.

personally id say dont bother, its loads of hassle and for what ya get isnt worth it.

:D there never gonna fit :D

[Anonymous]
