Jamesy Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 I think it will look pretty good when finished Really looking forward to seeing this finished. Thanks guys should be cracking once its finished and sprayed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimojameso Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Glad its getting sorted. I thought it was probably the new guy as the main london guy who started arch enemy is pretty good. He did my mk2 golf arches and didnt crack any paint and that cars 20 years old. You should complain to the main guy otherwise this will happen to someone else.

Scott Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Can't really judge the look at the moment but I didn't like the last flare you had so hopefully this will look better. The fact that they are going to be smoother should make a difference, rather than a reverse lip. The silver paint will disguise the shape a bit too so it will probably look more subtle than it does at the moment. Look forward to seeing it finished regardless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee_e Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Why would you do that ?!?! ....haha looks good dude, will wait for final pics uuntil I call you a spoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 To be honest i think non of us can really judge the arches from the state there in at the moment, Matt can do some cracking work with the facilities he has and i think its going to look different in a good way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraDan24 Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I love flared archers, i think its going to look awsome when its done, look forward to the finished pics mate Nice wheels btw...i'm not jealous at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has been too much negativity in this thread too date. My red car looked like a scrap yard special when it was in the bodyshop but when it came out it was a whole different story. All will be fine, I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 Thanks a lot guys. I am very suprised at the level of negativity, but as mentioned not concerned. Ricky i'll bite my tongue on this occassion. As has been pointed out its far from finished, and the building stages of any bodyshop pics are not going to blow you away. Once its smoothed, sprayed and the suspension levelled off a bit i personally think it'll be exactly what i had imagined it to be like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 sometimes seeing something a bit different just gets that sort of response mate, my build is marmite but im slowly winning people over. Just stick at it with matt and im sure you two will create something good and different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just stick at it with matt and im sure you two will create something good and different. I've not seen anything negative about yours at all. I'd reserve judgement until it's finished, as obviously nothing looks great when not finished. In for the pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 Yeah true Rob. I like people being honest nothing worse than being surrounded by 'yes' people. This whole modifying lark would be boring if we all agreed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky49 Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 You don't have to bud let it rip. It's only in my view Im just saying it looked better before. If you like it then that's all that matters but if your going to post it up make you can handle the negative with the positive comments. Thanks a lot guys.

Jamesy Posted November 8, 2011 Author Share Posted November 8, 2011 (edited) That's very close mate, Here's a couple of pics of Polo's Team Falken car at the top and some randoms below that - as you see its a similar effect of flared arch with the tyres as close to it as possible, without ever touching This was the kinda look i wanted Matt to recreate for me...

L18msy Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 (edited) I like the flared look as long as it is done properly like in this case. I wasn't sure with the first load of pics but then Matt's pics explained things a lot better. I think it will look aggressive, good on you. I had to do something similar to a mates 206 to get his wheels to fit, it was quite a bit of work but i enjoyed doing it here is a few pics. Not to everyones taste but you get the idea Edited November 9, 2011 by L18msy (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_jekyll Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 jamsey that rear tyre that i belive is a michelin pilot sport is out of date . 6 years max dude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevins Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Alot of drift cars run the look simply because the original arch is not there. Im a bit confused with your pic have you just had fg and fillers put on to build it up, have you had it cut away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevins Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Also Polos car has had the arch cut, spread and inserted to create the shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Well IMHO, I like it, I like it a lot. Recon when it's all done its going to look amazing. Love the flared arch look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
