    www.ffwdmotorsport.co.uk have some advertised at £525 .. but not on their website for some reason, only the TotalVauxhall advertisment.

    They arent worth the money trust me i have them on my car. You will have to pay around £450 for them from Reiger and they are sooooo rubbish the quality of the fibre glass is awful and they need to be seriously hacked about to get them to fit you would be better off getting your arches rolled.

    I thought the Reiger stuff was supposed to be Plastic? I was seriously contemplating going for a Infinity 1 kit when the car goes into the bodyshop in the winter but if it's going to be that much hassle I won't bother

    i have infinity kit and id recomend it. i havent had any probs with fitting other than one thing with grille but i think that was down to the bodyshop that tried fitting it.. think reiger is quility stuff, i cant personally comment on the arches as i havent had them but the bumpers are fine quility.
    all they need is a slight trim to make them fit flush, not much work to do

    That sounds a bit better, maybe it's just an issue with the arches then? Looks like I'm back on for Infinity 1 then

    Am i right in thinking that these arches only mate up with the matching reiger bumpers, and that they wouldnt work with standard GSI bumpers?

    Yes the rest of the Reiger stuff is very good. however the arches are just really bad. They are GRP for a start which is never a good thing.

    And in answer to the question yes the arches line up (well sort of) with the wider bumpers

    Lauren, do you have any piccies of the outside of your car with the Reiger kit on? Pretty sure your car is the same colour as mine (from what I saw in the doorcards thread) That way I can visualise my own with the kit on a bit better as I'm still not convinced lmao

    Cheers, Paul K

    Ok im happy with it now but the bodyshop had to do a lot of work with the arches initially and even now it has been back into the shop a further three times to redo the arches. No complaints about the rest of the kit at all! If i had the choice again i wouldnt do it, i would do something else. The arches really let the kit down and for the price you have to pay its a shame! I am also struggling with wheels. Trying very hard to blag some custom one off ones for the car so it really shows off the arches.

    Note i do not drive the car very often for fear of arches cracking on our rubbish roads and i get stopped but the police on a regular basis!

    Its the first car.
    Be warned this will take a while to load on a slow connection

    Hmm, those arches do dwarf the wheels don't they Also I couldn't cope with not being able to use the car because of potential cracking of the fibreglass.

    I reckon I'll go Infinity 1 front and rear bumpers, not sure on the sideskirts atm though.

    Oh, and happy birthday
