S.I.D Wide Arches

[Nutty Nova]

Hey guys have just purchased some wide arches and wondered if anyone
could give me any advice before i start putting them on!
Whats the best ways to attach them?
By bodykit bond or pot riveting?
Any help would be greatfull

[Dod]

I'd suggest a bit of both mate. Is the Kit Fibre Glass or Plastic?

[lee coley]

glass fibre

not the best but they want fibre glass pasteing on with JAM but trust me its not a jopb u shud be doin with out and experiance!

take your car to the body shop and let them do it! or bring it to me and ill do it and paint it.

Cheers for the advice guys

Wana have ago at this myself as you've got to learn sumwhere.
yea i will be using glass fibre as well and plenty of it.

would you put the glass fibre underneath the pannels to bond them on?

and the kit is made from fibreglass.

counter sink rivits, then flush lol

yea i spread fibreglass over the pannel then stuck them on secering with countersunk screws wen doin mine. neva cracked or anything.

don't forget to cut the metal out from the quater and make the inner arch extend to ur fibreglass before you stick it on, won't be able to weld the inner and outer quaters back together propley wen the wide arches are on!

hope that helps :thumb:

yea that helps alot guys cheers

saw your car at ultimate street car RC, was really sweet.

did you leave the screws in or just use them to hold it in place until it dried?

[General Baxter]

leave them in and flush over, fibreglass is crap, it will crack and fall off lol

[rc]

i left the screws in and flusehed over them,

yea was out tartin it up at ultimate street car lol

if you saw my car you cud see it was a sweet job the arches are ;)

well untill now anyway, see signiture \/ \/ \/

[Nutty Nova]

yea i did see you got smashed into
yea the arches did look like a good job

So do u think that bodykit bond stuff would be any good to
stick them on with and screw them in place, then fibreglass filler to smooth it all in?

Thats my plan of action i think so far

[rc]

sounds a good plan to me mate :thumb:
