not yet buddy you'll be the first to know , I've been keeping my mould maker pretty busy lately but these are being done , price wise I'm expecting around £180 to £200 a set of 4

great price alot cheaper than others... i take it there will be a four door version? what width and offset are those wheels mine are 17x9 ET40 so wondering if they will fit.

ABW 27 October 2009 09:47 PM

lol probably , point of them is to cover the wheel when it sticks outside the arch so unless people want either zero suspension travel or jacked up cars the arches will have to be rolled/cut anyway ;)

nice!

CRonson7 29 October 2009 07:48 AM

cant wait till these are done :D

V4JDMSTi 30 October 2009 11:50 AM

How does the rear wheel arch incorporate into the door? do you have more pics of the whole process?

ditto,really interested but cant see how they will fit on a 4 door
my rear arches have the beginnings of rust problems any way so cutting them back isnt an issue and can put the cost saved painting the rear qtr's against these

cheers

The 4 door one's will just be cut so half is bolted to the door and half to the 1/4 . I'll post some pics of cutting the arches and fitting them if anyone's interested .

dilbob 31 October 2009 03:07 PM

yes that would be good to see. see if its something i can try or best left to the bodyshop.

172sport 31 October 2009 03:37 PM

God damn aweful, and to fit them the rear 1/4 and door would be hacked about.

Thumbs down here.

By reckoning you aint going to get too much clearance unless you also go int the door slightly..............

shawy1976 31 October 2009 07:27 PM

Cukoo :Whatever_

:lol:

I was up at Darren's today and in truth the cutting is minimal for the extra track these will allow you to run. No need to go into the door at all. Unless you want to run 19" or 20" wheels.

Can't wait to get mine sorted. :thumb:

oadamo 01 November 2009 09:50 AM

nice!!!! ive been looking into blending one of these onto mine 200400033333 off the bay so it gives just a bit of flare.

mclark 01 November 2009 11:15 AM

Would it be possible to fit these to a wagon?

Also, how many hours labour do you envisage it would take to fit and blend these in including preparing/cutting the arches?

Cheers
