To be honest... many years ago I did a sketch of how I wanted my Sport to look. It had the Mtech 2 kit on, but with extended wheel arch flares. It looked amazing, but the kit obviously had to be modified to fit the arches...

Haven't got it any more, otherwise I could have scanned it in and showed you.

[Karan]

before i get blazed for this..... its cos im running m3 running gear which increases the track.. and when slammed on coilovers... it may rub a tad...

[E30Adam]

My car's currently at a bodyshop having exactly this being done.

My new wide rear wheels were scrubbing slightly and my arches were starrting to show signs of rust anyway so it's benefiting from som flared out rear arches. Should look bling bling!

[Karan]

hmm i need the same...

u having the originals flared or some plastis ones added and smoothed... i want the same!!!!

how much dude??

cheers
Karan

Wait till you see the pictures, then you won't be saying that!

I'm not talking massive wide arch kits, I'm talking the same as the stock arches just slightly more flared out to allow for wider wheels. Have you ever seen and pics of the euro style cars... bling bling

[johnono]

yup, iԚ´ll go with that Ad, very subtle and with the right wheels looks perfect..but get it wrong and you might as well do this

[nadz325i]

hey adam

keep us updated on the pics, i want to get my 9j fit nicely to with some 225 on the rears, cleared of the rust etc etc.

when im close to gettin mine done, hope you dont mind me picking your brain for some tips



oh yeh, stock rolled fenders rock on the e30, look sweeet.


regards.

[SCOTT325SE]

arrrgh, the notorious Gordons kit ....

karen thats sickening!! don't spoil ya car with that tat, an i thought better of u than that!, they'l only crack in the sun and have grim sink marks!!, especially the speed of your thing they'l probably just fall off! the shape of it does not even go with the car!!, The e30 is quite a square car! where as your novas r just pants, and saxos probably would work well!! its a bit like when u see cars going around sth end with ironing board spoilers and neon lights and shit exhausts and spacky bonnet vents wot r these people thinking?????????

maybe the japs can get away with stuff like this but not the germans!!
keep it classy!!
