jay200bhp Posted April 10, 2012 Author Share Posted April 10, 2012 i next made a pattern for the shape of the orginal arch liner so that thos could be laid up with 2 plys of uni directional prepreg carbon and rubber to make an arch liner extension which was fitted and riveted in place so as to seal the fender to the wheel arch liner as per oem...very fiddly job.As you can guess i cant get some pics to load up etc so ill do my best with the photos it will let me load...

You sir have an amazing taste. No bling bling, no sticker tuning, not even wheels...that is a work of art, done by a master. Which leaves me to ask you, how on earth could you sell that thing? Would be great if you also could let me know - exhaust (it looks a bit OEM) - do you use spacers? - where did you integrate important guages etc? or you did not install them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be great if you also could let me know - exhaust (it looks a bit OEM) - do you use spacers? - where did you integrate important guages etc? or you did not install them Thanks alot fella, I loved it, and loved every minute of building it. Reason for sale was simple, I needed the money for a house deposit and felt it was time for someone else to enjoy it and take it a step further. The wheels were widened to 11.5" on the rear from 8" and the original 9.5" rears went to the front. I had a pair of 50mm wheel adapters made to keep the wheel from the inner arch also. Jay obviously didn't like them . Here's a pic of the wheels when they were just widened and a pic from the rear. The tyres were 315-35-17 and the exhaust was a veilside.
