www.magnummotorsport.co.uk but they arent cheap mind!

[Nova1.6]

i had a wide arse, then i dumped her :lol:

[brian]

Pro-Tec motorsport. thats where i got mine. they are cheap but are harder to fit right.
mine is in the feature section under 2l16v. :D

[brian]

also if ya don't want their fibreglass bumpers (which are s**t, and are part of the kit) ya don't have ta get them and this knocks the prise down even more

[brian]

"PRICE" :lol:

[wizz kid]

do they have a web site

[brian]

they do. ill try find it tomor for ya. they also advertise in the paper "motorsport news" :wink:

just remember their kit needs a lot of tidyin up when fitting and ya might get a better one. :wink:

[wizz kid]

thanks mate

[wizz kid]

can you get 17s under there it is lots of hassle

[Ben (lurk75)]

yeah you can fit 17"s but will need to be a completely different offset to the standard et49. a guy i know who had a wide arched nova and ran et00 to fill the arches.

The Magnum Motorsport kit is excelent quality and about ?400 if i remember rightly.

[brian]

ya, ya could fit massive rims under it if ya want but as lurk said with a very different offset. i can't really tell ya what offset caus i have wide track suspension.
also as lurk said the magnum kit would prob be a better quality kit than mine, i def would have to think about doin another with the kit i used!! :|

[Ben (lurk75)]

if anyone is interested a guy i know is flogging some front wings (wide arched ones) made in fiberglass gimme a PM and will give you details.

[wizz kid]

im going for the wide arch with 18's but my mate who works for a bodyshop said they will be fine width wise but they may be to tall so they will rub or not go on is this the case or does he just want me to pay him lots of notes

[Ben (lurk75)]

yes fitting wide arches dosent entitle you to put huge wheels on instantly, the only thing it does help with is you can put negative offset or wider wheels on easier.

18"s on the nova will be murder due to the lock etc and the overall running size etc.

[brian]

it all comes back to the offset thing again!! doesn't matter what size wheel ya want to put under the wide arch kit as long as the offset suits. as for the 18's being "too tall"............. :roll:
as Lurk said you will have the lock off a touring car! not worth it if ya plan to use the car everyday.
let me know how ya get on or have any probs :wink:

[Ben (lurk75)]

Cheers Brian at last someone on this site agrees with one thing i said i think its a first :roll:
