is it just me that thinks they look wank then .

looks like a max power mod even if you blending the mounting screw holes i still reckon they'd look shite, they don't match the curves of the car or nothing.

just my opinion obviously and by the looks of it i'm the only one to think it

I think they would look better on White than it does on that, only thing I'm not sure about is the gap between the front arch and the side skirt looking at the last pic.

I really like those arches. One of my mates fitted these to his







It wasn't finished then hence the bumper but you get the idea.

I want to hate the first ones and say the only wide arch Classic Impreza should be a genuine 22B....................... but there's something about the very first picture that I really like, could be the wide-ass wheels, I dunno?!


Cheers,
Grant

i really like them except they dont look finished, you cant flare and arch to cover the wheel then go back into the cill as its pointless, needs to meet bumpers etc better then would look great, kind of like a s1

tbh it looks really naff! They should be made to like they belong on the car and they look like what they are, an afterthought which looks like someone has taken 5-10 minutes to slap on

I thought that the wide arch kit for the 22b (forgive my if I'm wrong on model, not 100% sure which one) was remade or modified to fit a 4 door scoob? I know that the kit has been put on a wagon and looks bloody good. And the kit looks like its meant to be there

Agreed copy 22b arches for a 4 door would look much better.

Round arches on a square car = no no
