That polished lip is going to have to be clear-coat lacquered, unless you want to be constantly polishing them to prevent rust, especially in a coastal town!

some serious Dish going on there

look forward to seing the end result of this project

Post Tue May 31, 2011 8:08 pm

that looks mega, what type of extension is that, iv had ideas of using golf gti plastic arches or something

Post Tue May 31, 2011 8:34 pm

if you get jetta mk1 arches the fit spot on with a little trimming, i got mine for £20 from scrappy

and i cant wait to get it done !!!! almost there now just waiting on my coilovers,exhaust then need mtec 2 bumpers and paint !!

Post Tue May 31, 2011 9:45 pm

Nice rims

Post Tue May 31, 2011 9:47 pm

Shame theres no way of gettin that mk1 fiesta wheel trim to fit properly and naff the ford badge off and replace it with the blue and white version of fireman sams wheels in the middle.Thats certainly a touch that hasn't been done before. Retro ford meets retro bmw with the dish of a borbet

Post Tue May 31, 2011 9:48 pm

Awesome wheels going to look really nice when its done

Post Tue May 31, 2011 10:25 pm

Post Sat Jun 04, 2011 11:02 pm

Looking good dude I'll look forward to seeing this cruising the mean streets of the Bay...

Post Sat Jun 04, 2011 11:31 pm

what did you use to flare the arches? looks

Post Sun Jun 05, 2011 9:25 am

cheers speedtouch and Bemer_land : i used an arch roller, its quite a good tool just a little practice and keep measuring to make sure the arch is equal to the other side

cheers lads

Post Wed Jun 08, 2011 8:58 pm

that is a ford granada cosworth spoiler the new buble shape headlight one. had a little cutting to do mainly the whole yop lip needed about 10mm so it would sit back to make it flush, and an inch on both ends... plus a little in the middle but yeah

imo looks nuts !!!!

cheers dude wont be long now for paint !!!
