Hi all,
So I\'m looking to increase the width of the FD. Does anyone know who makes or provides arch extensions similar to these ?

Thanks
Chris

yes RB not available yet and that kit will be many thousands when its available, try shine auto for FEED style arches

I\'m looking to go a different route to the Feed arches. Hence RB styleee.

Just wondered if anyone was making something similar.
 I see them on GT86\'s, but not found one to gauge whether those would fit the FD.

If you could get some knock off GT86 arch extenders and see what they look like on the FD, if rubbish then nothing lost, if good then make the fit:)

C J R

Good idea, just need to find someone making that type of arch.

Does this mean you will be selling your wheels down the line ?

Looking forward to the new look for sure :D

re japi

I havent seen that kind of bodykit for FD... But it would be awesome :)
Power is nothing without control. Weight is enemy of performance, handling and braking.

For a company experienced with fabricating one off\'s the arches would actually be quite simple to make up as you can see thay have just used flat sheet, bent it over and cut an arch shape  (I had a good friend who would have made these standing on his head but sadly he has passed away)

The front would be more complicated but all the openings would work well

You can already see that the basis would be a fiber front that would have the openings blanked off and recut , so very do\'able

Even the dip under the bonnet line would work well on an FD to feed the Turbo.

I do know it would cost probably something in the region of 3K , but this would make one hell of an FD
All the best Clive

Chris,

I\'ve recently purchased a few parts from Tarmac Sportz, some wheels for the rex and diffuser for the wifes GT86. The guy who runs it is another Chris and has been great. Anyway he is advertising a replica Rocket Bunny kit for the GT86 at a reasonable price, may be worth you contacting him if you wanted to try the GT86 arches.
