Their got a kinda 80's retro cool to them but the whole car modding sceen moved on from the whole wide arch wild styling thing years ago. Go for some thing more under stated, smoothing etc. If you go a wide arch kit don't have 17's go for deep dish split rim 15's to complete the retro look.

Unless you can spray I really wouldn't bother also 17" WON'T fit - you've gotta use 15" or 16" rims but they need to be at least 8" wide which cost a fortune (say around £180 a corner for a cheap wheel). There is a guy who had the kit near me a few years ago a it did look nice but these days it looks a bit dated. If you could get a company to make a wide-arch kit based on the Escort Cosworth front bumper it would look awesome, just an idea

Ok i got £12 k from the sale of a Peugeot 406 estate left to me by a relative. £4k should take care of the credit cards that leaves me £8k. Phone numbers needed guys ! i want my car in a magazine by the end of the year. Today i got me 8v 2i standard apart from 15s and its lowered 35mm. This animal Kit ? I think seeing as not many people have got it i may get it. Something special even if it is a bit Odd.
Opinions ?
