Hey guys very interested in a set of bolt on for my 4 door classic.
They 40mm wider, just wondering if u have any pics of the archwork cutting welding etc of the rears? Only reason I ask is there's not a lot to play with around there just wondering how you went about it?
Cheers guys top job
If easier pm would be great

No problem matey.

Mine rubs a little but that is because she is really low. I am taking more metal out of the arches soon so I wont have this problem.

I am on cusco coilovers buddy.
