Really does look good, well done chap.

Original scoop and de-spoiler would be the only changes I'd make.

That is one of the best aftermarket flare mods Ive seen. Just the ends of the arches (door side) not mirroring the shut lines that preventing it from looking true OEM in my opinion. They look as though they should either tapper off keeping a parallel lines with the door panel gaps or fit flush to the lower sills.

i do agree but one of the problems with doing that is the body curves in as you go towards the sill. the arches finish at this point so the arch does actually flow with that curve.

any way a few more pics. splitter not fitted properly yet but suspension lowered a little, fitted inner arch plastics (well kind of), also fitted alk to go with my arbs, getting it set up soon ready for some track days.

ATM I'm on 42 offset with 25mm spacers. 215 width tyres. Not sure myself what to go for when I get some new wheels. Its the width you have to think about as well because that affects the offset. I was thinking of the xxr wheels 255 25 offset.but not sure if these will stick out too much.

How do they run on the rear arches, it is like you can't open the rear door any more?

The rear doors work fine but if you have kids they could damage the bottom corner of arch. When door is open this is fragile
