the 6 looks quite a bit bigger then the 5 IMO

i would go with a v5 for a stock body car, the v6 looks better on the widebody ones

v6 on mine, as you can see, they are fackin huge

Thumbs up

Whichever you buy, DO take care that you:

1. DO NOT buy one made simply/just from fibreglass. I did, and mine, although expensive to buy, has cracked and also bubbled and rippled. It HAS been on five years, mind

2. Get it painted by someone you trust. Cheap paintjobs will fade, change colour, or peal off. Or all three Trust me on this

v6 spoilers are higher at the back and have an extra "flick" on the top edge

I guess you're putting it on a 4-door classic? In my opinion neither look right on a 4-door. I'd go for a mid-level on a 4-door and leave the big ones to the Type-Rs (which most have as standard - version 5 onwards)

anyway, the latest pics i took are in this thread, when i fitted the wrc skirts and new rear bumper spats

https://www.scoobynet.com/members-ga...rts-spats.html

unsure if i am going to change the full front bumper, for the wrc style one, or just the bottom lip

looks very nice mate, i have been thinking of fitting the arch kit to my just to make it a bit different from the rest.

as for the alloys they seem to fill the arches well, did you have to use spacers?
i assume they are 18's but whats the profile on them

wheels are et35 offset, 225/40/18 i think?

6mm spacers on the rear as my rear arches are wider then the fronts (i dont have "22b" front arches i have do-luck ones)

the dafter the offset, the crapper the car drives, so i never wanted the front uberwide as the handling will suffer

do-luck ones are reported to be 30mm wider
