I was thinking more along the lines of OAP+ but fully caged and a modified TDi engine...

They're not terrible, but there's something about them that just ain't quite right!

Here's my mates bready, he also made a corsa pick up once too!

Awesome.. I think the Citroen BX style rear arches don't do them any favours!

Yeah... It takes a very specific wheel and fitment to compliment those arches...

I tend to like them on 14" mattig steels with a 45 profile tyre just a touch of stretch and about -3deg of camber.

Sounds good, wonder if anyone has ever cut the arches back like they did on the Lotus Carlton?

An old mate of mine chopped his out and used a berg cup kit to pop some 14" BBS E30 on it.

Only to have it confiscated by the police and broken.  :laugh:
