Hey, I need a set of arches, But i need them to be about 2cm wider than sportspack arches.

Is there any arches which are a size bigger than SP arches?


Also, This is a bit of a call out to Scurvy.
Dosent he make sportspack arches?
Think he could make a set, but 2cm wider than standard ones, And Without the recess for the side repeator as my car dosent have them?

Bet those tyres love that!!! :nugget:

Those tyres do look a little stretched on the 8" rims. I would think 195/45 x 13s would be better on an 8" rim, they look like 175/50s. OOOPS! lol

Those arches are fine. Legally speaking only the tyre tread itself has to be covered and only when viewed from directly above. The sidewalls and rims can bulge out as much as you like (although I wouldn't like my tyres stretched that much) from the car body. That's the whole point of stretching tyres like that, for the look. It certainly isn't done for ride comfort, performance, handling or the life of the tyre because it's pretty bad for all of those, it's for the look.


SMB is Smudger's Mini Bits I believe, and Smudger is on here. Try talking to him if you do want some specials.

Those arches look great ASS, how much are they? Not like I'll be able to afford them till June anyway.

The *only* problem I can see if the same that people come across when welding new panels on, because of the rather large tolerances in the panels, are you going to be able to guarantee such a good fit with all minis?

hi j
its another trick of mine that i will show you . took me a while to get this right
but look at the finish
also if another panel fitment is not the same this can be corrected , then again
,when you do stuff like we did at smc its right in the first place.
