Brock B2's Finally Arrived..... Watcha think?
« on: 01 July 2005, 14:54 »
Hi Guys

Well the B2's arrived yesterday. They are still in need of a refurb and the arches need sorting but I had to throw a couple on just to see what they looked like. I think they look pretty cool.. Any comments gladly welcome. 

Also the top of the wheel is about an inch and half away from the arch.. i am guessing this will rub on big bumps. my local guy wants £275 quid to sort this arches for me. thats just labour, gotta buy the G60 arches too. I was thinking about having a go myself... Again any advice welcome..

Excuse how dirty the car is... it was pouring with rain and the car is in desprate need of a clean!




Cheers

Knobby!
ps.. is this the forum backup for good now???

Well...gotta fit G60 arches... Take out some of the plastic inside and roll and cut away some of the arch.. Just wondering whether to do it myself or pay someone nearly 300 quid to do it...

UMmmm

marginally???? 1cm? 2cm?

Cos at the moment the wheel sticks out about 2cms from the end of the back standard arch trim.

I was gonna get an angle grinder at the metal arch. Then paint this to stop it rusting. Cut the inside of the G60 arches slightly to allow for more room. Take out the plastic trims inside the arch and use some of that rubber stick on stuff to stop stones etc chipping the inside of the arch..

Watcha Recon?
