I Think Dal has already done that

Allthough the scottish guy's car looks good , Im sorry but i do not feel it's a touch on mine , But i would say that

Are the rear arches complete ?

Looks to me as they are just bonded on , IMHO These need bonding on & then blending into the rear doors just like Daren did with mine , It then looks like part of the car & not a panel just stuck on the door all imho of course

If he is going for the proper WRC Replica look for that age of WRC then the rear arches are ment to look like that. They arnt bonded on they are a complete door skin

I would'nt go as far as saying that they look stuck on but do sit proud of the door skin.

look on any S7, S8 and S9 cars and you will see what i mean, only the angle eye shape of WRC have them blended in like yours.

When i do mine they will look the same as his.
