sorry dont get me wrong, they can be made to fit for sure,

I understand, its all about just how much work is needed, something I dont have the skill or money to do, nor the stance, lol.

weak ET is my excuse! But one day, I\'d love to be able to warrant fender flares, I just love the look.

flatout that is stunning !
skifledanabit... any chance if your not too busy you could get a pic of them up against the arches... one rear one front... just held against to give me an idea... what you asking for em ?
is the general feeling that these will go on without major works?

Skifledanabit · January 07, 2012, 12:48:35 AM

No problems, will get it tomorrow, I\'ll be looking for about Â£100 for them, or swaps for cool bits.

Ideally like a rocket bunny ducktail spoiler from an S13 or something

rising son · January 07, 2012, 12:53:48 AM

no probs il have a look 2moro.... arent we all lookin for a ducktail

Skifledanabit · January 07, 2012, 11:37:39 PM

I\'m trying to see if an S13 rocket bunny one can be made to fit, also got a metal worker working on another lip type spoiler for me. Will keep people updated.

Also, my apologies on not getting those pictures, been a busy boy today, will definitely get them tomorrow.

rising son · January 08, 2012, 12:51:44 AM

dont worry dude take ur time... gonna be a long project.... magic21 on DW makes ducktail spoilers... for the s13 i think but dont think theres much difference... nothing worth worrying about anyway, theres not a great physical difference from memeory from my s13 and the fc

Wow, forgot how hard it was to take photos that get any detail in black cars, but here you are;

Rear arch, Top of flare level with swage line

Bottom of flare level with arch

Gap between top of flare and body when level with arch

Front arch, level with swage line

Level with arch

Gap between body

They are pretty flexible too so I shouldn\'t think there\'d be too much work to get them to fit

Sorry about the crap photos, hard to take good ones with arm at full extension lol

rising son · January 09, 2012, 12:05:40 AM

cheers for that... am gonna let the boy who fits these look at these pics and get back to you shortly... donno if they are maybe a little too wide, but we will see

rising son · January 10, 2012, 08:55:13 AM

too wide bud, appreciate you taking the time to take pics tho

just going to go for a weaker offset

Skifledanabit · January 10, 2012, 02:18:17 PM

I\'ve got 25mm on my 747\'s, they push the wheels out to the arches nicely, so your wheels will probably only need those to fit well.

rising son · January 10, 2012, 02:34:05 PM

my wheels stick out from the bodywork without the use of spacers, not enough to merit those arches, did think about using hubcentrics to pull them out further but its the thinner arches i was looking for, not the chunky ones.. magicaero sell them, plus after seeing the pics you put up there is no way of fitting without cutting the my arches and i dont want to do that with this car as they are far too good... perfect infact
