I'm looking into extending the arches on my e30, but without going down the M3 route, I was wondering if you can get arch repair sections or similar that could be modified and welded to create MK1/2 golf style wide arches? Or if anyone has done something similar and could suggest an easier/better way
cheers

Why not flare the original arches provided there not rusted? :)

They are rusted in a few spots and have been filled badly, so i don't think they could be flared, need to be welded anyway so i thought while i was at it i may aswell extend them

Yeah they looked s*it!!


do something custom... not hard.. just bare in mind.. not toooo curvy, as it wont suit the look of the car!
I wonder how long it will take people to notice this...
