As you know - my car went in last week for the Wide Arch Kit fitting...


There is still alot more to be done. They got to fill arches in on the inside to make it look neat and professional.

Exhaust, grey/black bonnet and roof to be done...


It looks a little high up at the rear end.. but coilovers on order and spaces to bring the wheels out... 20mil for the front and 30mil for the rear.

Shall post pictures as soon as its complete ( another 1half weeks estimated )

No skirts required for this kit... they fit in perfectly without side skirts  :smiley:
