Hi all,

 

I am debating whether or not to fit wider alloys to my VXT. Regardless of whether that's the right thing to do or not, does anyone know of any company that could fabricate and fit fiberglass arches in a way so that they would look OEM?

 

I prefer to do as much as I can myself when it comes to my car, however I'm trying to avoid the end result looking like:

 

 

 

Any help/advice will be much appreciated!

 

Chris

However you do it, the end result WILL look like that.

I secretly quite like the look, but don't let Techie find out....

Any fibreglass body shop will be able to make you some

Only that roemanian clam Joe and Nev use are okísch in my book.

Once darcini's pix come out, i think that will also look good.

 

All bolt on stuff is horrible.

Took a lot of work I agree darcinis will look best To be honest all his bodywork will look the best

How wide you thinking of going ? 

 

Doesn't Nev have 285 on the rear 

[The Batman]

I was running 265 so will stick with that unless man maths tells me I need more

Makes the car look like the stupid sketches you see everywhere 

 

[pezley]

Not that the sketch is bad in any way, just that it makes the car look like a caricature.

Magic Aero who did the Driftworks AE86 should be able to do a half decent job i would have thought.

 

Some pics of their work in the following thread from post #566 on.
