Hi everyone, I know that the AE86 overfenders fit the FC:



I might be needing some bolt on wide arches to fit my large rears under the arches for clearance if I need to space them off the shocks etc.

I am just wondering where I can get some universal overfenders, I am not getting a full bodykit as I took 3 months to find the OEM turbo II lip splitter and I have the only Eibo sleek spoiler fitted to my car in the UK lol

I am going for subtle body mods, they won\'t be blended though, just pop riveted on and painted, I am going to try and keep it looking OEM just wondering if anyone knew of anywhere that sell overfenders :)

i think replikit had, or was it ep racing?

I guess I need to try and find a good supplier if I need the wider arches to fit the wheels and tyres, they MIGHT fit ok without any mods, which is what I would rather as then I can keep the stock appearance, but just need to research into it :)

wont rolling the arches help?

I got a full set staring me in the face right now waiting for me to fit them... and find some wheels wide enough to take them... I got them off Gary at Japsalon; 0118 934 5334

£140 i think but he made them from scratch for me

+1 on the pics, although I might be able to fit them as they fit on an FD with no mods, even though they run a 265 rear tyre.

Like I said, I haven\'t put them on yet so all I have is this...



thats only 1, there are 4 and they will need trimming etc to suit what style you want, they are pretty solid.

i had some like that and no way could i get them to trim up and fit, the frount wings have a very sharp angel on them, i spent two years and alot of money looking for the perfect ones for a fc, i ended up getting ones that were made to fit a fc only,i think i bought about 5 sets of overfenders before i got the perfect fit,

Would it be easier to just get the arches rolled slightly? Or maybe notched, bent and then new metal added and blended?

is it just two you are looking for m1tch, i bought two from ebay a year or so ago, they are a perfect fit for the rear, if you are not lowering your car to low, they fit perfect,

OOO :) yeah I might be dropping just 40mm, depends how the rims sit in the arches really, I think this weekend I will \'adjust\' my exhaust heat shield with a dremel and see if the rears clear the arches ok.

Which seller/how much were those? are they for an FC?

Where from and how much? May be worth investing in some that fit perfectly rather than try and trim those

I wonder if replikit would want to copy those? seems to be quite a demand just on this thread! Its not like its a full kit either!
