Default Ford Orion wide arch kit

Looking for advice here. I’ve been told that a Lexus is200 kit will fit the mk2 Orion with some tweaks. Does anyone know if this actually fits? I want to make my Orion stand out and think this will do it I just need some guidance. Thanks

What IS200 kit? Anything will fit anything with a bit of work but I wasn't aware there was a wide-body kit for the IS200, unless you mean the BTCC kit which I haven't seen available for years and years.

this is the kit. Only costs Ł290 odd. I think it looks really aggressive I just want to see if it’ll work on my Orion

any kit like that will fit out tbh if your able to do mods yourself as there is plenty of drift stuff these days.. how ever it is what it is tho will be rough thin shite hence the price as its made to to be put on nd took off and chucked if damaged so to put it on like your orion it may need a bit of extra work so its stronger to last nd doesnt crack over time

I'm sorry but that looks shite! Put that on your Orion and it will certainly stand out but for all the wrong reasons. If you want wider arches I think you're going to have to spend a fair bit of money to get it done properly which will look way better.

Christ, that's hideous. I didn't realise there was a "drift kit" for it, but then drift stuff is about the least interesting thing to me so I'm not surprised I didn't know/remember it.

As Nick said, if you want to go wide-arch, I'd go full custom fab and have something like the Skyline's/E30 M3/Imprezza P1 had - nice subtle but noticeable bulges. You'll have to flare the rear door out (like Tony did with his Desert Storm Saph that had replicated EsCos wide arches)
