mplavery Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Hi guys It's got to that stage where it's starting to bug me that my Do-luck front bumper is not matching in line with my OEM wings So it looks like I'm going to either get some Do-Luck wings or the bodyshop has suggested that they can widen my OEM wings which i prefer so my wings won't be fibreglass So my question is what do you do about the front wheel arch liners (shit shields ) as the OEM ones won't reach to the edge of the wings anymore ? Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 There will be a gap. Your need to extend the gap to make them cover. DoLuck wings are also a crap fitment. If you go that route, with the quality of your car, I'd highly recommend getting them moulded onto the OEM wings and adjust to fit the bumper. My car lined up perfectly, and now it's now as perfect with the wings. Different wing's could make your situation worst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-_-b Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 When i had the arches fitted to the my supra, the liners didnt reach (obv) I elongated some of the holes attaching the liner which allowed me to "swivel" the liner around to meet the outer edge again. Prob 1 of about 6 "solutions" for this, but worked fine for me and with minimal hasle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's how they look I would go with do luck personally considering your kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 My wings are still stock underneath, been built up with fibreglass resin and skimmed to get a smooth finish Not sure if it's the sort of thing you want to look at Arch liner wise, a 2nd set of liners with the bolt holes adjusted to allow them to come across the extra, both sets then cut down to make one slightly overlapping set There are a few pics here to give an idea of the build up work near the beginning of the thread and more around post 108 onwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
