safcdixon Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 hi everyone, Veilside overfenders who sells them im looking to push my wheels out with spacers as they dont quite fill the arch i fiited spacers at the weekend but never drove the car til yesterday when i took it for its MOT and any little bump tore into my tyre a little bit, my car has a veilside kit so these would be ideal, any ideas?

safcdixon Posted July 30, 2010 Author Share Posted July 30, 2010 What's the best way to fit these and how would I flare the arches? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 I have the Knight Racer ones on my car: They rivot into the stock panels [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v415/Matt_H/DSC_0848.jpg[/img] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safcdixon Posted July 30, 2010 Author Share Posted July 30, 2010 They look wicked mate they give the car alot more width and presence so if they just rivot on did you get them smoothed in with filler because they look like they are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aman00123 Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 I'm having some fitted now mate, up at Jurgen's, can take a look if you want, they are being riveted on, tigersealed and then blended in. Depending on wheel size and how much your car is lowered at the back it may need the arches cutting/rolled to get the wheels in too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As well as the rivots, they get stuck on with some form of adhesive (not sure what). The wheels are 19's. 12" wide at the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 The do-luck and Veilside arches normally come with some nice screws to hold them on, a lot of work needs doing to get them to sit nice on the panel but when they do fit there is no need to stick them on the panel, they are so diff in shape you may as well make a feature of them, the only reason to use filler is to avoid seeing the screws.

Matt H Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 the only reason to use filler is to avoid seeing the screws. And to ensure the line between the stock fender and the VS arch is smooth. Depends on what you're after though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aman00123 Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Depends on what you're after though. Yup, some people like the 'old skool' riveted look, others like to have them fully blended Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safcdixon Posted July 30, 2010 Author Share Posted July 30, 2010 Yeah my rx7 they were just screws and they weren't blended n they looked the bollocks, I wouldn't mind havin A look at yours aman or maybe some pics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 the blended look is ok but i prefer the rivets showing i think it looks good, look at jamiep orange beast thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea sure mate, as I said it's still at the bodyshop at the moment but once it's all done and back I'll put up a thread with pics in mate. I think we're sorting a meet for sometime in August which I'll be at too. I got 60mm overfenders, do bear in mind you need some huge wheels to fill the arches otherwise it won't look right. Spacers do the job but won't look as good from behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safcdixon Posted July 30, 2010 Author Share Posted July 30, 2010 I prefer the moulded look but I really like the rivot look too, will decide when I buy the arches off dude, yeah would be up for a meet like mate, I think the wheels are 10s or 10.5 not certain I already have the spacers so if it don't look quite right from behind it's something I can deal with for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People that don't know supra's think that the arches on mine are standard, which is the effect I want. It you want people to think that they're a body kit part, then don't blend them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safcdixon Posted July 30, 2010 Author Share Posted July 30, 2010 I prefer the blended look tbh, plus my skirts and spats are already blended, so the idea would be too blend them, it's nice to have a variety of choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aman00123 Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Just keep an eye on the north east events section mate and a meet should pop up in there hopefully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marbleapple Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 And to ensure the line between the stock fender and the VS arch is smooth. Depends on what you're after though. Matt did the wheels fill the arch well and can I ask if the car was lowered? I had a real problem with my old supra because it was so low, yours looks a good height. Also, with filler is there a risk it could crack etc if you go over a big bump? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safcdixon Posted July 30, 2010 Author Share Posted July 30, 2010 The Filler won't crack if it's mixed properley and has a good keyed surface Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
