Took HOURS!!! To do this but worth the result,

Cheap Superlites were cheap for a reason, all the laqer was blistered, so covered up the centres and used nitromors to get the laqer off

Come off nice and easy but lip was well dull

£16 3 stage polishing kit from halfords, and a lot of time later.....

Bling...

Well happy, loads more shine than originals, for a 1/4 of the price

 

[sr20bud]

[r-reg-sr]

[pork]

Cheers, pics don't do it justice, super shiny!!!

 

[aLLeKs]

They are 13 x 7, got them of eBay for £78 (Y)
Stick out quite a bit to be fair, got some arches on order to try out, the front is ok due to some negative camber, need to do same to back really, then it'll be mega badass lol

Cheers fo comments!

 

[K10 SHED]

Nice (Y)

 

[pork]

Got these today

Opinions and suggestion on fitment plz

 

[frank]

Got these today

Opinions and suggestion on fitment plz

(Y) personally. i would cut the cars arches and bend them outwards (for the plastic arches to sit onto) then trim the inside of the plastic ones so that the tyrepoke is juuuuust legal

 

[pork]

Ahhh I think I get ya, so, do you mean like cut slices into metal arch then pull out?

 

[sr20bud]

that looks awesome mate (Y) and yeah id do what frank said mate.

 

[jcreaven]

arches look absolutely awesome mate, thanks for replying mate.

regards Jack Creaven,

[pork]

Cheers dude, do look badass, pics Dnt do it justice, jus need to drill and bolt them on

 

[jcreaven]

yah mate, thats the easy part, post pics man

 

[sr20bud]

id use rivets but suppose bolts you can take them off again tho id opt for self tappers :grinning:

 

[gtsnissanb]

I see you took quite a bit of inspiration from my car it's not bad polishing kit that, but the halfrauds kit is a copy of the polishing shop kit you get for a tenner if you want a better finish there is a £15 one that gives you a mirror finish! I'm sure I gave you the link to the site
I riveted my arches on, shame you didn't go for the big ass ones like mine though

 

[pork]

Yeah that kit does the job well(Y)

Style 2 arches where to wide, style 1 is perfect width for the superlites:grinning:

 

[Machi san]

Jun flares look mint on your car mate. Id fit wheel spacers to get desired fitment personally. Cutting back the arches to get right fitment can be a pita unless your a uber surgeon like frank

 

[pork]

Cheers dude, Im not Gunna trim the bolt on arch, need to trim the metal arch as to get the ride height I want, the metal arch sits on the wheel need to trim about an inch to inch and a half from each arch, the front will be simple as it's one piece of metal, but the amount I need off the rear will cut into the inner arch leaving a big gap in the side, which is a pain coz I don't have a welder.
So atm I'm driving it at a crap height

 

[Eliot]

Ever thought of getting the bumpers colour coded, or you keeping it stock?

 

[pork]

Jus Gunna keep them stock, could do with some new ones tho as they are bit battered

 

[pork]

HAD a go at the rear arches today, took bout 1 1/2 inches off, so no mire scuffing and the wheels turn round at the height I want, which is a bonus

 

[Ronneh]

hell yeah!! loving that mate, im not running mini arches or anything, just gunna pull the hell out of the arches!!
are you using wobble bolts on the mini wheels?

ive yet to lower mine, and have the bodywork seen too, but its gunna be another one like yours!

 

[pork]

Cheers dude!!
Jus got superlites nuts, they only on for pic purpowes ATM as I still need spigot rings

 

[sr20bud]

that looks bloody epic now mate (Y)

 

[pork]

NIce one mate, gettin to a point now where the outside is almost done, could do with a respray, not sure if to change the colour to something more mental, then Spose I better sort an engine out!

 

[sr20bud]

cool you still going down the cg route then?

 

[pork]

Will be but be a while, funds bit short
See yours has been coming along nicely

 

[sr20bud]

yeah slower than id like tho lol i thought once i get started id have it done in 2 days but i dont have much time down the garage unless i wana walk back with 2 tool boxes :laugh: i will have it done soon tho (Y)

 

[pork]

Well once it's in should be big fun, then il pick ur brain on the best way to do it

 

[Machi san]

Looks awesome in white with these arches in black!

Defo paint it a different colour! Then I can paint mine white

 

[pork]

Swap if you want lol save on paint!:wasntme:

 

[Machi san]

HAHA I like my gta no. Plate too much

[pork]

[davey1991]

You would think that working for a company that maintains and sells air compressors, it would be easy to get the kit, but nothing stays in the shop long enough to get free usage

 

[pork]

Damn! Jealousy is huge right now!!!!
Its so pretty :blush:

Cheers mate

 

[pork]

Had to cut another inch out the back arch as it still scrubbed the tyres, I cut an inch from the outer arch then folded inner arch over it, then hammeredr the crap out off it. This will have to do till i find a welder

 

[jampublic]

Looking tight, is that front bumper on the pi**?

 

[pork]

Haha, yeah, bit battered, need new front and back ones
