you can take any ideas you feel like jamie thats why everyone posting pictures helps the next person in order to develop thier cars a little better each time. meant to say that i also used a wilwood brake proportioning valve to reduce the pressure to the rear wheels

what arches are they ed?

[edsmini]

what arches are they ed?

zcars own ones, fibreglass, i think they look good once they are painted and fitted using bolts with the black piping. it means they are easy to replace when i step the back of the car out and clip a lamp post
