Made a start on the car today.

Got the pattern wing fitted, was dreading it because people were saying they are a shocking fit but went on okay





Can't really do too much till I get the new sill and rear arch but gunna do little bits untill get them

Are you going to leave it de-arched.

The problem I had was the back of the wing catching on the door when opening, I had to reshape it so it all cleared properly! Maybe it was just a terrible wing that I was given lol! Looking good though mate

Yh havin no arches or sill covers. Thinks it looks a lot cleaner and prefer them without

Yh got the same problem but I found it because the front two bolt holes (the ones under the bumper) need opening out a little so I can move the whole arch forward to clear ad also sort the gap between the door n the arch

Yeah, I tried that with mine but then the front end of the wing protruded further than the bonnet and the gap between the door and the wing was huge lol! Glad your fit alright though

Ah right. Well nothing a hammer can't fix
