I'm sorry to say this but it does need saying I hope the finished article will look better because that's hideous as it stands and is destined for Barry Boys.

Hopefully when finished it will look OK but you've got some work to do that's for sure.

just a quick question about them why havent u made them so they go to the bottom of the sideskirt and the bottom of the rear bumper why stop half way up and just cover the top of the wheel so wen ure flying along the road stones can still rip up the side of the car or back bumper would need a set of flaps to sort that out also

I think you have answered your own question there. Sorry but that is going to be f*cking hideous.

I'm picking up the first set tomorrow which I'm cutting up to make the 4dr one's .
It's a very simple mould but I've been keeping the man very busy with other stuff :( . I'll post some pics up tomorrow when I have them fitted on a 4dr .

Are there any pics of the amount of arch cutting needed when fitting these to a 2dr??

wrx9181 01 December 2009 08:04 PM

looking good

shawy1976 03 December 2009 06:52 PM

got a few pics today of the car with the arches on, the wheels are 9j with 255 rubber on them with a 25 offset and there still not wide enough lol.

What side skirt is that? Or where did you get it from?

If I had the time and the motivation this is what I'd do

There do- luck copys

Adam Kindness 03 December 2009 09:00 PM

Shawy - How do the 9.5" and 15offset sit? Too far out?

I'm going to get some arches (poss not ABW but ones from a Datsun 240zg site... ) and it would be perfect for me to go for a wheel that I can share tyres with the Skyline! 255 is perfect! Do you think the 9" wide wheel would be ok with a 15 offset?

kermit sti 03 December 2009 10:37 PM

are these arches ready to buy now?
