I suspect the 8j rims and 235 tyres i now have for the rear of the Gartrac may be a little too wide for the S2 arches! How much work is involved in fitting S1 arches and are they easy enough to get???
Cheers Spadge...

 

they fit

end of mate

 

wont give ya any more clearance spadge...IIRC the actual steel arch on the s1 is the same as the s2, it just looks wider as the s1 bodykit sits fully over the arch rather than just the lip on the s2.

 

not a straight swap though, some cutting and some fibreglass and they will go on and look the bollox m8
But dont think youve got the patience to do it

I want to do it on my combi van lol

 

Really fook that then i'm after something that works not just something that looks good

 

if you have a good 1 that your going to use fancy swapping it for 1 with the front poprivet fixing is knackered as you will be cutting this bit of spadge

 

also i had it photoshopped onto a red one as i was thinkin about it and it didnt look good(but that may not bother ya)

 

get some forest arches off a mk2

 

Ive got a full set of gartrac ally arches spare

 

spadge have a look at the F2 escort wrc rally cars from a few years back they had arch kits on them because of wide track, its an idea and is def a motor sport look which is what you are after.

 

rst88 not really wanting to go that mad to be honest but pm me a price anyway
Dunc find me a pic please

 

Dont really know what there worth TBH im stripping them off an ex rally-x car we bought so bit dinged here and there.

 

Just been looking at some pics of my car and the way the rear wheels sit in the arches now and i might just get away with the extra width! The Rondells on the rear at the moment are ET36 and 7.5j and have 205's fitted so the ET35 8j 235's will only sit out about 15mm max more! What do you reckon?

 

i recon the police can do you if they stick out further than the arches i have a mate that got done for it on his mini

 

you may just get away with it mate

try em on and have a look and take a pic and compare

i take it the rear arches have been rolled ?

may want to do that also mod the rear bumper at the top

as when squat it may catch there

but car still the bolox

 

i think only if they stick out more than an inch the law states

cus how do these bigfoot conversions get away with it?

 

his were hardly sticking out like bigfoot i think if they want to be queer coonts about it they can be

 

Cheers guys!
I'll give them a go tommorow and get the grinder out if need be

 

lol mate depends on the copper at the end of the day i supose

 

Spadge i have 215's on mine and had to roll the arches.

 

you will have more problems with s1 arches cus the wheels will catch the arches when you turn the wheel i reckon cus my mate did it to his s2 and had problems

 

Have you got them on yet mate, i wanna see what they look like
