Xr_Dub :use black mesh...
Dunno about that mate, sometimes solid blocks of colour don't do anything to define the shape of the car, especially if it's black. Perhaps a dark silver powdercoat ?
Nothing to see here...

Re: My First Car! **UPDATE**
They are either "Ultra" smoked ones that have been (badly) made to look like MHW's, by blackening the reflector.
Or are ultra clears that have had the same treatment!
Either way, they aren't genuine MHW's

Unfortunately, yes. They are rare as f*ck and in high demand. People are always looking to make a quick buck

Today I Took A Trip To Salisbury To Pick Up My Brand New Just Made Arch Kit... That's All I'm Saying For Now...!
Some Of You May Think It's Abit Over The Top, But Do I Care?, No, It's My Car So If Your Going To Say Something Negative About It, Don't Say It At All, Cheers!
Dad Found It Quite Hard To Change Gears In The Scooby With The Huge Side Skirts In The Way, It Was Quite Funny Watching Him Trying To Drive Spack Handed!

Re: My First Car! **UPDATE New Arch Kit**
those skirts look too much like the standard ones, id have just gone with the arch kit
saying that i think those arches with suit it, maybe try without the skirts first?
think lowering should be on the list because it'll look a little odd with that kit on and stanard height!?
excited to see them on a painted though.

Re: My First Car! **UPDATE New Arch Kit**
Too Much Like The Standard Ones?, They Look Much Different And Bigger, But It's Your Opinion And I Have My Own, The Arches Will Suit It, I'm Having The Lot Done Together So I'm Not Bothering Assing About Trying Different Skirts, Plus The Arches Are Made To Go With The Skirts Because There As Wide As The Arches, So If I Keep My Standard Ones On There That Will Look Silleh!

Re: My First Car! **UPDATE New Arch Kit**
Done Some Work On The Car Today In This Freezing Cold Weather With Help From My Buddy Dave, (He's Been To One Of The Shows And Will Hopefully See Him At Many More This Year) So We Were Tackling Those Awful Rear Window Pop Out Bolts (Pain In The Rear End) Eventually Got Them Off Without Any Window Smashing And Replaced Them With Shiney New Stainless Steel Ones Which Won't Leave Those Horrible Rusty Staines All Down The Side Of The Car... Result!
Old Ones!
New Stainless Ones!
