i have a 5 door fezzy mk3, and i was wondering if it was possible to fit 2i skirts and arches.
If it is, how difficult would it be?

A barsted!

Got all the usual worries such as mounting point etc etc then you have to worry about cutting huge lumps out of the rear arch so that the rear door can open. Then you've gotta attach it to the rear door rararararar!

Question I've been asking for a while now: Why don't any companies make Arches for a 4 door fezzy? :???:

I decided to go with RS2000 skirts & leave the arches! Think it look just as good!

RS2000 originals only need minimal chopping (been there etc :lol: )

I was gonna do it, shouldn't be that hard, but I've recently purchased some mad ass jap skirts (that are soo depp i can't actually fit 'em yet LOL) so I won't bother with arches as above...

haven't heard from Fras for a while! has he been kidnapped?!

XR2i arches are possible on a 5-door, but you need to fit them and then cut the door shutline down the arch (bit like on Citroen AX GT 5-doors), and yes I've done this before :smile: :wink:

Using fibreglass arches I must admit. (Got a spare pair of rear fibreglass arches and matching sideskirts for sale)
