Whats everyones views on the wide arch kit thats around for about £650 for the mk3 fiesta? Any good, or does it look nasty? Only ever seen one with it on in an old max power in yellow, with a cossie engine in it.

Personally I'd say no, but hey it's original - you don't see many of 'em!!! If you went out and and rally sl@g it could look quite good I s'pose..

I'm definatly considering it but it will probably cost around 2k+ for the kit, fitting and a full respray in imperial blue, so it might take time saving up (not very good with money). :lol:
