To use the Arches positively, the original should be cutted or?

The Groupbuy is for front and back arches or?

Yes ideally you will need to cut back your arches to allow for maximum extension from the new arches and the group buy is for the whole set front and back :thumleft:

One point i wasn't sure about, the original Abflug designed used a front valance which blended into the front arches on the lower edge of the bumper/apron. How will the front arches blend in without this? :-k

Alex, we are adding extra parts onto the arch so that instead of it stopping it comes all the way to the bumper and skirt to fit smoothly. If you see the photo below it makes more sense :)

As you can see the arch fits really well, where it stops (near clamps) we have decided to extend all the way to bumper and sill so the finish is more smooth with the lines of the car. More photos to follow

Yes this is how they'll be all round, the idea is the people who do have spats and skirts they can cut the arch to suit making them more universal.

does the inside lip follow the wheel on top (more rounded)when a proper width wheel is fitted or is the original flare not very contoured to the wheel?

Second build progress photo taken from the other side and from different angle.

How are these coming along??

I also thought i would be cheeky and ask if any extra discount would be added as there are over 10 more people then the amount needed for 20%! :clown:

Arches are off the car ready for moulding we should have the finished product very soon :)

Cant hurt to ask but Im afraid no 20% is the best we can do on the arches sorry.
