they do look good, but personally only think they will work if the oweners car is pretty low, so the tyre is tucked up under the extra arches.
otherwise it just highlights how un-low the car is.

Firstly let me say a huge well done Daz as i know you put alot of effort and time into these little creations.
But for me they look just like the classic ones... Too stuck on and not flowing with the rest of the car.
I also dont like the way they meet the bumpers. Ie i think they should be in sections so the bumpers have their own sections. So the rears would be in 3 pieces and the fronts in 2.
Reserving judgement till theyre properly painted and fitted and i see them in the metal. But for now its a no from me too im afraid.

Thanks for all the replies everyone , as I said I knew they'd not be to everyone's liking , I personally like the way they've turned out , they are meant to be simple and easy to fit .
there is no way to make these types of arches follow the cars lines ( I've tried believe me ) I think a 3 peice rear arch and 2 peice front would work but only if they were blended otherwise they'd be a bit fussy imo.
Cutting them at the bumper line would be easy enough to do after they're made so the same initial mould would serve to do both.
thanks again Daren
