stuart I know you guys are mates, but I wouldn't like a thread posted about how people would like my car changed posted on here.

Cotty's stripes

1 crap 80's tat
2 leave them on

At the end of the day its down to the individual how they wish to modify or not their car. Leave the guy alone.

Aw, and you're not even able to defend yourself at the moment either.
Sure there's enough Zoners that'll protect you.
Hope you're getting better now.

People point and laugh at crome arches...

The body under them is filling with water and silt, soon rusting away...

They look so tacky, get them off Niel :eek:

up to you as always, they do look overpowering tho, to much chrome all in one place, if they where thinner? or maybe if you could some how get chrome side sills to match in the bumpers. still think door handles, you might aswell

btw how much are lowered by neil

no mr neil, its want i want you to do with your arches!!

the wheels wicked and bad, so does the bumpers and all the other stuff on there, probably coz its at some level, a standard application with a nice touch, but seriously mate, those arches are pants!!! and they really do make that car look cheap!! honestly, from the heart mate... this started out as a little crack, until some people got anal about it and got all "leave him alone" and started whinging like b1tches!!! no-one said you gotta be a lemming or a sheep, but there is a reason people just dont do some things....

but, whatever, you want 'em on, leave 'em... but know they do look pants and they will f*ck your arches up, no matter how well you think you've protected them!!

Neil its ultimately your decision to keep them on your car, are you gonna have people tell you how you should have your car and tell you what to do when its your car and you like how it is?
