magictorch Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Got any pics looking at it wheel on? Is the flare nice and even across the arch.......might have mine done when the car is down:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted October 8, 2011 Author Share Posted October 8, 2011 For me its not smooth enough to just leave as it is. I always planned on getting it blown over and tidied up a bit after they'd flarred it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 How did they flare them? lots of rolling or pull them out somehow? Forgot tot say they did heat them up a bit first too mate, sposed to help it bend and prevent paint cracking too much. Seeing as the wheels/tyres stuck out about 25mm before they have flared them a fair bit, although to look at face-on doesnt really seem as much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callaway Motorsport Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Looks good james, but is it me? or is the lefth arch done more? or is it just the angle you took the pic at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 Yeah its the angle of the pic i think mate, they seemed to be symetrical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesy Posted October 27, 2011 Author Share Posted October 27, 2011 (edited) So the car is going off down the coast today to Matt for some bodywork. Having both the arches that are now flared smoothed over and blown in. Might also ask Matt to colour code a couple of little bits in the engine bay - rude not to eh?! ....then we're all set to go on the manual conversion...picked up all the parts from Ryan yesterday and i cannot WAIT to get this bad boy shifting through proper gears...just need a clutch but im hoping someone might have a little something for me Edited October 31, 2011 by Jamesy (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 Few updates from Matt - as ever he is doing a top notch job, really pleased: Front part of skirts re-bonded as they had come away: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
