Hey guys, I've recently been looking at perhaps trying to add some wider arches to the car, to give it more of a 'rally' stance, but not OTT as with the WRC wide arch body kit. Has anybody looked into this before? I'm just wondering if it would still work with the lines of the car by adding some and widening the track a bit.. Jim

hmm, it was just a thought, I hear you can get some that make it 60mm wider each side, just thought it would make it look a bit more aggressive.
As sometimes when I look at the car, it looks a bit high but slim. And was gonna try to cure it by bringing out the arches to give it a little wider stance.
Prob just me being silly though!

You could Photoshop it a bit just to see first! Not sure how it would go without some of the other panels being changed a little. eg... bonnet vents, different spoiler etc. IF it's an RS look you're going for????
