I was going to raise them to 60mm of the ground but then had springs and ARB done instead
There are 11cm between the bottom of my flaps and the road. They only fall 4cm below the skirt of my car. See, told you they were short

That still doesn't show how short they really are... from the ground to the bottom of the flap is 11cm.

Mind you, I'm not sure why I'm harping on, they're there now

I knew I couldn't have cut them out incorrectly as there wasn't any spare material on all four sides of the template. You and I silver scooby sport will just have to make do with our tiny flaps.... god, most women would complain of flaps that were too long

Default What size graphics - Newage

I still have not fitted mine.

They are all cut-out but I keep forgetting to sort out the graphics.

I want to make sure I get nothing too tall, so can anyone with the Newage cars tell me how high I can have them?

Its not the same person who organised this group buy. You will probably find the material supplied is a lot thinner and not as good quaility as what was supplied in this group buy.

Hi,

I went for 230mm x 110mm graphics for both front and rear. Here is the design I created, Only left hand shown as I have had the swoosh mirrored :-



If I remember correcttly the space available ( Mine are fitted on the bottom set of holes ) is front 385mm x 100mm (Bearing in mind that some of the width wraps around the wheelarch so isn't really visable. And the rears measured 285mm x 125mm.

The fronts measured 100mm in hieght, so the top little bit of the subaru swoosh will dissapear under the car, but to be honest you dont see a great deal of the front stickers unless you get on your hands and knees. So was more bothered about the graphics looking good on the rears.

I ordered mine from www.racegraphics.net 7.50 for the 4 delivered !! Bargain.

Mark
