Project F wide arches

J · Post by J » Tue Jul 07, 2009 6:41 pm

recieved and trial fitted

measure up the distance from my rims to the edge of the arche and i can easily have a 9.5'' and have it sit in the arch or have the 10'' wide and have it 2mm out the arch.

what i've also realised is it the whole arch is now a tad smaller compared to the stock guard, im guessing this is to cover up the oem arch so its not seen.... but damn it doesnt leave much room.

So how you going to attach it to the metal fender?

im actually not sure

i dont want to blend it, in case i get into an accident and have to fix one side. i guess maybe some strong bonding glue? any suggestions?

your not blending them? aww

i guess sik-a-flex would be the best way to go if there is a good amount of contact area

if they were mine i'd be moulding them in for sure, might look tacky if you dont. Just my opinion though

Sik-a-flex ftw! There's nothing you cant do with sik-a-flex and cable ties

blending was the original idea... but what if one gets damaged down the local shops? and its blended in... i can't just remove it and be done... there would go my front quarter, front bar, and my sideskirts

way too much hassle just for an extra 1.5inch on the wheels

i'll see how it goes, if im not happy with the end result i'll be blending them in anyway.

Yeah poly urathene would definite be the way to go.

Â£250 that work out to about $700-750 + postage.

exchange rate atm is 0.53 so 250 quid would be around $500 rounded up.
