If it's arches you want on a MK3, it's gotta be the Gartrac ones! The bigger, fuller wings off the later cars. Think they were mainly fitted to MK4s.
Isn't your shell already painted though?

I'm sure there was a MK3 about, I think it was sunburst red with white multispokes on. They're the arches I mean!

kerscher do a wide arch bodykit
many many years ago there was a mk4 rst in grey with it on with aquamist stickers all over it, couldnt find the kit anywhere
its wide but subtle, and he finished the rear end off by adding a porsche 944 turbo rear bumper valance it looked very nice but this was ona mk 4
heres the magazine it wason the cover of

iv just bought a s2 rst which needs the wings and arches replaced and did consider going slightly wider on the arches etc....but probably too much effort for me
