Default How to fit S1 arches on a S2

I bought a replica set of S1 arches/wide arches for my S2. I know i need to drill holes to fit it where the originals where screwed in, but i will need some kind of bonding on the outside... hope it make sence

Searching PF i found that some kind of adhensive is use, but what ??

Most big motor factors will stock it mate...

Are you trimming the edges into the bumpers? one thing that wasn't properly done on my last S2, I liked the look but bugged me a bit over time.

Hi Ad4m RST

The kit is pre-cut so it should fit. It is not a 100% replica as you can see from the picture on the companys website here

Really wanted a S1 kit, but did not wanted to do all the work cutting it so that it would fit... then found this kit, hopefully it will look almost as nice as the original S1 kit.

You need the right wheels to make the S1 arches look good on an S2, 7.5 - 8" deep
