yes do it they look great.....

but...

use fibreglass because s1 kits are fast becoming rare for this exact reason. Save the genny ones for the mk3 boys.....

Just out of interest where can you get a decent kit from?
How much do they usually go for?
Eggburt that is sweet!

go for it mate, but please use repo ones, not originals.

and DONT have rivets showing they are gay, if you need evidence, this is one of the proton models, see it every morning as i have to drive past a proton gararge

sorry mate, each to their own, but i just think they are horrid. the rivets spoil the lines of the arch and in my opinion just say "look these rivits here mean ive got a racing car".

I think the s1 arches on a s2 should be a subbtle mod, rather than rivet them up to say "look at me".

Anyway everyones different i guess. I love the grey though, my favorite rst colour.

A poll on this thread might be a good idea.

i quite like the idea of S1 arches on my S2 but agree with the above the rivets do look great on Gus's car but i dont think it would if it wasn't a race/track car

they dont suit the mk4 unless you mod the front and rear bumper to take the rest of the arches. so they drop to the same point on both sides of the wheels if you get me.
