Dont look too bad, think they'd suit a Mk3 or earlier a bit better though..

dude where did you get these arches from they fookin' EPIC haha

i need a set of these :D

Holy shit! that looks rad! more pics more pics :lol:

woops just realised you can scroll through them haha

They look dump imo. Make the wheels look tiny, and don't suit the lines of the car at all.

Fair play though if you like it!

I think they suit the body lines really well! At least from the side anyway. Did you cut your original arches out like you would if you were fitting arches to a mini? Or just leave the arches standard underneath and rivet the jdm ones on?

yea i like it from most angles :). love it from the back.

all arches are standard. then there are rivetless anchor nuts in the arch that the jdm's bolt onto/into if that makes sense

so they come on and off

well thats the plan

Look like classic mini arches to me....

Looks ok tho, what size are the banded space savers?

Yee I see how you mean. Do you get any issues with scrubbing or is it all gravy? You fit them yourself? Haha sorry for all the questions i just never seen it done before an I'm interested :lol:

lol tis kool, i cant full lock and i think if i went over a bump the wheels would snap them off... lol I'm going abit higher today and trimming the inside arch. mainly where 1 of the arches is set further down than the others (front passenger side)

and i was too scared to do them myself got them dun professionally

Jesus christ, his reg is so close to mine :|

lol whats yours?

Nice 2 see something diffrent i like it!

like it alot, not so keen on the banded space savers lol and i reckon the wheels need to be bit wider or the arches abit narrower for me but very nice, good work and as said good to be different!

not bad at all, they would look the fucking tits on a motor sport themed mk2 though :thumbsup:

Fuuuck :)

They llook soo sweet :),

Looks good that, I reckon the rear arch needs to be a bit higher though. I'd be tempted to go up to 15s/16s as well, but that's up to you.

I fancy a set of these for mine, have done for a while. Just don't think it'd be able to pull it off.

them banded space savers were on a mk3 Goof this year if I'm right? can't find a pic though :p

the arches though, dont look as bad as i thought they would!

:o:O bad ass haha were did u get them??

i'ma fan :D

thats nuts.

i think its one of those cars you have to see in the flesh to make up your mind, its going to get lovers & haters lol

I'm undecided really, i wouldnt do that myself as its not my thing but its been executed well.

tbh i was expecting to see some barry style bodge job but its a good job man :thumbsup:

i think it could look good, but atm there's something about it that i'm not too keen on, and i can't work out what it is :lol: just something looks wrong. fair play for trying it though mate :thumbsup:
