Title: Wide arch/fender ID please..
Post by: Steve-x-edge on January 29, 2012, 10:39:59 AM
Morning all,

I\'ve been searching and searching for these fenders for a long time now, and I thought I cracked it. I thought the front fenders were Pan Speed, but on closer inspection I was wrong. I couldn\'t find rear fenders even close to them.

I\'m hoping someone out there knows what they are as I\'d really like them, I think the front bumper is RE-Amemiya.

Stuck on this one, it may be the Pan speed but I\'m not 100% sure. Here is a picture for reference..

Defiantly not Pan Speed so we can put that one to bed!

Which wing? On the Red or White?

The yellow FD is Panspeed buddy, hence pretty sure the front wings are too :)

I they do 2 versions, yellow model is slighter older variant....

Yeah the yellow is pan speed I got it from their site, but the white and red front fenders differ slightly.

The arch at the front where it connects to the front bumper smooths in, where as if you look at the white one where they have the Re Amemiya front on there. It cuts off, I believe if it was the pan speed it would merge and not have the \'square\' finish. Hard to explain.

Cool cool and yep, am with you know, have just spotted who\'s they are... \'Craft Company\'.... hence the CC logo on the pillar and rear end :)

Quite possibly their own little take on the panspeed wings :)

I did think it was a custom jobby, until I found the red one with the same kit. I don\'t believe thats a CC car, and i\'ve been all over the CC website/blog reading through endless posts but finding nothing.

I\'ve just signed up to the japanese blog site so I can message them, one problem though.. I don\'t know japanese.

Steve,

They are R-Magic\'s spin on a wide arch, as found on there once demo car below.  Don\'t know if this ever went into production or just a couple of attempts/trials?

No problem.  In all fairness I originally thought a while ago that this was just bespoke and never went into production.  Quite surprised when I saw the while one, but the kit has never been listed on the R-Magic website, so unfortunately I think your going to be stuck ordering one direct.

However not all is lost as it is a modified pan speed one, the fronts are basically the same but the rears would require a little work from the arch back towards the door, but it\'s well within the capabilities of most body shops.

If you wanted that look id start with the Pan speed then show a bodyshop what you want the end result to look like.

Sorry cant be of anymore help.

I had the same thought Kevin, the Pan speed is the closest I think I\'ll get. I had an idea with the rear, either use Feed or Re amemiya rear fenders and use some kind of arch extensions on top of that.

I\'ve got an update on this guys, I found a picture on my desktop I must have saved and forgot about..

The car had a sticker on it \'AutoStaf Racing\' I google it and found a website about the car, which described the body kit on it. Turns out the fenders are made by TK sports. So I googled that but it seems they no longer deal in RX7\'s. The only information on their website is about lotus\'s. How annoying! :Grrr

I also found a thread on here from back in 2007 of someone asking for bodykit pictures. And the kit was posted back then.
