ok i will be rolling the arches on my 1985 jetta this weekend to make room for the 8j et20 wheels.
just incase something goes wrong due to unseen filler in the arches or even if the poke is to much and i need gti arches i am looking into what i would need to fit arches to my jetta.
its a small bumper 5 door CL
would i need 5 door arches and sill covers or are the 3 door and the 5 door the same size?
-
all arches are the same - 3 or 5 door...
Just small bumper or big bumper are the main differences...

Hi mate, I have a set of small bumper arches and door trim i was about to put on the bay. Fancy them? I'm new to the forum so don't know if my pm works but feel free to text/ring me if you're keen. 07904304982 Ewan :)

where are you based mate? do you have the sill covers aswell?
what price was you looking for?
-
Don't need sill covers on small bumper arches dude ;-D

-

looking at the bit that sits on the sill cover i thought it had to atach to it otherwide there would be a gap?
sweet so dont need sill covers then
-
based in herefordshire mate, just off the m50. think they're 30 odd quid each arch from VWheritage so 45/50 for all arches and door trims? I didnt have a sill cover on my small bumper gti so think its all goood :)
-
Do I need the door trim? Is the gti wider than the cl? I take it they have come from a 5 foot?
-
5 door yep :) think it may be the same? you could have it anyway as spare if you fancy as i only have a big bumper mk2 now :)

Coz that's not why I bought the car. I'm not In to sensible cars. Otherwise I wouldnt be putting 8j wheels on it and wouldnt have bought a car slammed on coilovers in the first place.
Rolling ruin the structure of the car? I'm rolling them not cutting them. If I was worried about car structures that badly I wouldn't be driving round in a 1985 jetta. :rolleyes:
