^^^^^Cheers




Extended the rear of the flares to blend in better with the contours of the 2015 Subaru STi WRX.

Also made a flange which will fit inside the door edge. This will make positioning very easy and final fitting a lot more secure.

The small pieces that fit to the door seem to be taking ages to make and a bit of a mission to get right, but were getting there............................................. .................................................. .........

I can completely understand your reason for this on USA sites, but this is a UK site as stated. And has very low USA traffic.

So it just seems pointless title for this site, simple title change is all thats needed.

Theres to many youngsters coming on here using American terms, because all the knowledge has come from Google. And Traders not using English.

Anyway keep up the good work, the arch extensions should look mazing when sprayed

There are more countries that use the term 'fender' rather than 'wing', so we have to optimise for Google for people to find our products Worldwide. A wing is a rear spoiler in the States.

Looks good mark!

I love the type of people who still spam this site, this was the only thread tonight that has orginal content not just the normal Sri vs Wrx bs. Very few people or companies take the time to share content, feedback is fine but it's all down to personal taste

It's a very fair comment regarding the annoying use of 'American' on a British site. It's bad enough that the default setting on most spell checkers is 'English(US)', without a British company helping to undermine the use of correct English terminology. There's more than enough unintentionally dodgy English on this site without adding to it.

does the language really matter? We know what he means though don't we. Perhaps instead of spamming his thread about a new product, you should just pm him direct if it really offends you?

Just my 2p.

Eeer yes, plenty of people get abuse thrown at them, for coming on here using text talk. This is basic English language, to be fair the Original poster has used English term aswell, but alot of companies come on here and use incorrect terms, which for me throws in to question there reputation.

For example would you purchase goods from a company that had alot of spelling mistakes in there adverts, for me it would it throw into question how good they were. My spelling is poor, but i make an effort and spell check all my posts the best i can. A company that is selling items that can't use correct wording to describe there items forsale, for me sound like they don't know what there talking about.

As stated this seller has explained themselves, and have also including correct wording. And yes your most likely correct the pm system should have been used in this instance

Now back to topic, can we see some side shots of the wheel arch extensions?

mmm i like it from some angles, rear and rear 3/4 is fat. Rear arches need to flow through to the bottom of the bumper though imo.

Looks very good, back fender needs to meet at the bottom of the rear bumper though.

Think that space would look great filled with a good sized mud flap to take away from seein tyre, such an amazing look,
Would this work with spacers instead of massive wheels/tyres? As I'm considering for next mod?

I like. Not sure I'd do it to mine, but it does look good. Ditto with the rear ones, somehow it does look just a bit chopped off, either extending to the bottom of the bumper or mud flaps would look good.

I like being able to see the tyre from the back very track-esque...
