Wide arches poll

[NeilSR]

Ok question for you all, if I go for wide arches on the fc do I get them smoothed in, or do I go for the rugged bolted on look?

rivets ftw

rivets ftw

what he said

+ smoothed wide arches are going to cost loads right?

win win for rivets

[NeilSR]

Yep as most of the car will need respraying to match it all in etc

I had stupidly never considered the rivet option or else I would have had them long before now, lol

[NeilSR]

Ok, when i get the widfe arches sorted, do i stick with the current design on the car ie the stars



or do i go for this instead?  Using chrome for the blobs and then black for the lines

[dthebuk]

stars would be cool, but the side of the car will no longer be straight so it would look a bit weird imo. You might aswell try the stars, then if it looks bad, change it

[papercutout]

Rivet on and stick with the stars. Reckon you might be able to fit in a sorta jagged pin stripe squiggle, also in silver, between the sticky outty bits on the front and rear arches on the wide ones. Break it up a little?

[BenLewisMav]

Rivets for so many reasons, and the second (new) design definately.
Seems a shame not to spruce it up if it\'s going wide. (you could always include stars to keep the others happy )

i pref as it is now.. tho thats just my opinion
the \'new\' one looks gaffer taped together =s

[FlikstRR]

Cable ties!

If you overfender it the only way is rivets!! Otherwise you will fail!

Im thinking smoothed, else it will just look like this:

[dthebuk]

or like this!!

Im thinking smoothed, else it will just look like this:

picture quoted for stupidity...

mitch:

A. the rivets arent even pushed in yet
B. cars not fully painted so is gonna stick out more
C. ITS ....ING COOL. Its JTP\'s truck/cab.. its MEAN to be like that(for now)

D.  if he blends them in.. a slight knock, a slight scrape, any amount of chassis twisting (hard breaking/accel over time ofc), or a pothol of UK motorway specification.. will crack it.. meaning more money and a blowover of paint..

SO unless he decides to continue to just hard park it at shows rather than drift/use it.. its silly to blend it. Peter Taylor did it on his cab and it looks good.. because it INTENDED as a show car..


You blend arches on a drift car.. your an idiot.. or just fake.


my thoughts. :Giggle
