    Default Opel Corsa RS - Audi V6 Twin Turbo Nova

    It's a long shot, but does anyone know the owner of this Opel Corsa?

    Opel Corsa RS TwinTurbo 1000Hp Test Launch Control 🚀 Owner Esad Dosljak - YouTube

    Esad Dosljak and/or Konopek Motorsport?

    I'm interested in chatting to him about getting some rear arches in the same style, and an introduction would be useful.

    Thanks

    Both Esad and Dario Konopek are on Facebook,

    Esad owns the car, Dario built the original as far as I know, it’s evolved a fair bit since it was originally built

    They definitely look like one off custom made parts, this post was from 2013

    Thanks Bazil.

    I’m not a user of Facebook, and I’ve failed to find an E-mail address for Konopek Motorsport.

    I did discover that the body panels appear to have been made by Draptec dp.rs

    It may therefore be a total non-starter as that’s a Russian website. Although the company has a Serbia address.

    I need someone who can speak their language to a technical level. I’m looking for that person now.

    Could try a Anthony Drosos if you are contact with him, he’s a friend of Esad on Facebook, even the contact info for Konopek is via Facebook with no external website or email address unfortunately

    No, I don't know of Anthony Drosos, who is that?

    I did speak to James Middleton at Relentless Performance and he has a welder/fabricator working for him who is Croatian, so that might work. Except that Esad is Serbian I believe. No idea if they share a language.

    Just had a chat with Draptec in Serbia, massively helpful and fast to reply. They did indeed make the body panels for Esad's car back in 2013.

    They were done as a one-off using carved foam, so there are no moulds from which they can produce more panels. Draptec don't think they would have been wide enough to suit my car anyway!

    Oh well, on to other options next........

    At least that avenue was fully explored though, many would have given up.

    I may be in a similar boat to you at some point, I doubt the standard wide arch kit will cover the S3 width either
