No your totally wrong and out of order this is a genuine enquiry to see if ABW can produce this style of Arch for a 4 door, and at the end of the day its not even your thread

Not sure many would agree that these arch extensions are "stupid", how to make friends and influence people

Cool keep us updated on this as they are a good alternative for me, they will allow me to cheaply widen the track without the expense of a wide body kit. With some of the hill climbs we have up north i.e Doune there is no point building a show car as it probably wont stay that way for long as I can testify after my first outing at Doune
Kit looks excellent tho cant wait to see the rear

well i think im one of those annoying peeps that wanted to know if Darren could do these arches and have been asking how things are progressing. but im fairly new to this and scoobies and i thought this was the norm.

anyhow i like both kits and will need to talk to abw in person

good work mate

Thats a good one, you say your freindly with Darren and then you start going all mental about people asking about a kit that people are keen to buy. Your not that good a friend if your trying put off potential customers.

Ps Get one sorted soon Darren cause the blue one looks the dogs
