Hi All,

Has anyone got these fitted? I'm after some photos mainly as the ones on the website are not very good. toying between getting these and the Karlton flares from Carben Fibre but they need modifying as are made for blobeye.

 

I think they look nice in some classics and look well on a hawk but I don't think I'd ever fit them.

 

If I could get away without wheel spacers or wider wheels I would have them in a second!
Love the look, I first saw them on the Rocket Bunny cars and loved the racer look.

Each to their own though, I am sure many wouldnt approve.

Cant wait for your fitted pics

Mmmm...

 

Been toying with getting these on my impreza can't decide if look good or not

 

....

 

I like them and almost went for a set on my last classic, but once I factored in all the costs it didn't seem worth while. I hate the idea of huge spacers so wider/deeper wheels are a must which is expensive.
Plus once they are on then they are on, there's no going back if you decide they aren't for you.

 

Cheers everyone, I'm already running 10j wheels s I have the wheels already, at the moment though I have stretched tyres so keeps the wheels more a less legal, but I hate the look so wanna get some nice 275 rubber on and cover with some of these arches, just wanna see what they look like first

 

Im seriously tempted by these at the moment. My car is along the rocket bunny lines already, so think they will look great. I'm on 9.5s, so would need some spacers too. But just down to ££s as I've ploughed an enormous amount into my car since Feb

 

I like the arches . Not for me . But they do look nice . Never seen them on a bugeye. So as u would like to see some pics as that is what you have asked for so hoping someone will post them. I would like to go for the 22B arches . Lol . Or just get the real thing as I hate reps . love to no what the insurance would be lol . I hate it when they arks me is it a import. Anyway back to the main topic would love to see some pics of this bugeye with the kit arches .

 

Other option (much cheaper option) is these on ebay... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UNIVERSAL-...item3ce57b214f

 

really not keen on those tbh, I like the full length of the karlton style ones ........... Still tempted, I really think they would finish the car off.

 

My blob with them

 

Anger, are those the ABW ones? what size wheels and tyres are you running?

 

Yeah ABW 9.5x18 ET12 255/35/18 RSR's

 

Now yer just teasin' me....

 

Yup..... thats it..... but in satin black

 

lol I'm teasing myself too!!! Had a shunt in Feb, which resulted in the respray and re-style in the photo. That pic was taken just before being remapped and was planning to get in the road the day after, but the bottom end went, sooooo, Engine Tuner 2.1, fmic, 6 speed and brembos now. Hope to be back on the road running in in a couple of weeks or so.

 

That looks nice . Good job . I don't go for body kits that much but I do like the look of it. Nice car mate . May be in black with the white wheels . Not. Saying it don't look good in blue.

 

That would of pisst me off mate . Sorry to hear did not read it all just till now . U must if been gutted

 

I was mate, well and truly, but onwards and upwards as they say. Too late to worry now and lots of improvements made to safely run the higher power.


Still very tempted though

 

Nice to see u r so up beat about it . But then what can you do but move on . When I read what had happened u was gutted for u mate .

 

Why would you need spacers? See my build thread for what I am running on my classic and measuring up the ABW arches I will be 17mm past the edge of the extension and that is on a 9J....

 

I just assumed that as my wheels are nearly under my standard arches, they'd be drowned under the abw ones. Will have a read through though mate

 

Put proper tyres on there and see how you go #less of this stretch rubbish, some 255/40's will see the true width of those wheels, and if need be a 10mm spacer will be plenty....

my 17x9 et-10 is 17mm past the end of the classic abw extensions, and I will be fitting a 245/40/17 on it too if I can find anywhere with the nankangs in stock!

 

Im running 245/35/18s at the moment, just a little stretch. Try truro tyres mate, got my nankangs from them

 

I doubt they do the 245s there nankang stopped making them!

That looks like quite alot of stretch me?!

 

its a lot less than it was, had 225s before. I'll see how things go money wise I think.
Didn't know that about nankangs, I got those a while back from them.

 

I currently have 225's on my 10j wheels, just what i bought them with second hand and it is way too much stretch, I hate it. Gonna grab some 285's I think

 

hell fire!!!!! I can't justify changing tyres again, they've only been on the car for half a mapping session Are you going for these flairs then Sam????

 

Yeah think I'm gonna go for it
