what are you doing with the rear arches, are they staying standard or adding the 3 door hatch rear arches to it

wiseboy · 07-09-2008, 13:11

just gonna leave them standard mate as they are solid, thought about putting hatch arches on but decided against it.

wiseboy · 08-09-2008, 16:02

fitted the fiberglass doors i got of ebay today, the fit is really bad so gonna put the originals back on, going to do the strenghtening kit tomorrow.
