sorry deathrow but uk doesnt allow for no wheel arches.
Still, would make a decent show piece but in my opinion it needs to be driven.

Thanks everyone, managed to find some more pictures with the above terms.

It's a shame about the UK law on wheels being covered, however I have seen ways to cover them that doesn't completely ruin the look.

100ev8, how much do these things cost?

Mmmm:
