Title: GTI / G60 rear wheel arch questions....
Post by: Fielder on 08 March 2006, 09:15

Fairly simple one, Are the rear wheel arches in the G60 arch kit the same as the GTI rear arches? Or are they slightly larger?

Thanks  :smiley:

Hmmm thinking of puttingG60s on the front, But dont want to faf around with getting rid of the rears as ones in the bodyshop being painted anyway (as there bodycoloured). Think i would get away with G60s on the front and Regulars on the rear then?

yeah had it on last motor before it was written off, looked ok, really made the car look wider too, by more than it actually was if that makes sense?

i have seen a few with them just on the front and think it looks a little odd! i think you can tell the difference when they are all g60! maybe its just me??  :undecided:  :tongue:

I wouldn't say it's hardly noticeable difference  :huh: even in specs, G60 is wider (front arches are wider also)......don't know how much exactly
