BIG STU Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 (edited) Do these skirts and arch extensions look alright just sprayed then stuck on or do they look naff and better to get them blended. seen a couple of small pics. they look alright from a distance but cant telll if they are blended in as cant see any obvious line where they meet the bodywork.

McRic Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 blended is always best but it depends how much yer wantin to pay, if yer blendin em then yer talkin bout painting panels rather than skirts/arches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex-Finesse Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 Man, good choice of skirt and arch! Get then blended no questions!!! I'll have a look see if I can find any photos of my car at the bodyshop when they had just been put on. But get them blended for definite! I laugh at these 206's around with factory arches not blended into the skirts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 Personally I say, blend the skirts, and arch extenstions together, but DONT blend them into the car's bodypanels, i mean to make it look liek a Saxo Max Power Fiberglass abortion......, it doesnt look right IMO..........

jp Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 well ive got the arches blended to the skirts, which is a must cos they dont fit very well. but i havent got them blended to the car and it doesnt look bad at all. but when i get the money i will be doing cos they need touching up badly cos of stone chips. i hope this is of some help. btw i think they do stand out a little more when they arent blended to the car but thats just prob me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelles Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 the arche extensions with them are really poor cutting, they where with my ones, i had no choice but to blend them in otherwise id have gaps where i could most likely get my fingers thru. Id get them blended Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex-Finesse Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 (edited) Sounds like yours were even worse than mine Pelles! Agree with ya Col not to get them blended into the body, that would take away the aggressive look of em!

Mike C Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 Sounds like yours were even worse than mine Pelles!

BIG STU Posted October 2, 2003 Author Share Posted October 2, 2003 Cheers guys! thats what i was hoping. dont mind getting them blended to the skirts but didnt want to fork out for blending to the bodyjust yet. Sorted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelles Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 or you could do what ive done, get the arches seperate and blend them into another pair of skirts i wanted to be diffrent, so blended them into the gti skirts reason i picked the gti skirts is they go with the evotech front and st24 rear, it gives a perfect line around the car, and thats the most important thing of modding imo. I dont like seeing motors with a really low front bumper then the skirts arn't as low, same with the rear bumper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex-Finesse Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 I dont like seeing motors with a really low front bumper then the skirts arn't as low Reminds me of a Corsa I saw with the Kingdom Developments (Jap-style) front bumper and no skirts! Ridiculous doesn't begin to describe it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 I dont like seeing motors with a really low front bumper then the skirts arn't as low, same with the rear bumper. Cough**** Evotec****Cough Actually mate, I 100% agree with you, and I think a car needs to sit right, and have a nice smooth flow around it, even if it is a mad as fap bonkers bodykit, its gotta keep the same sorta hight around it, or else it just doesn't work........ Well IMO, I like nice and low cars with deep bumpers and skirts the same height from the road as the bumpers.... but hay, as the Nova crew always prove, everyone has their own tastes.........

K3V HA Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 I agree with not blending them, and pelles, i know what you mean about same heaight all way around, i think you'll agree that Pete has done an excellent job keeping the height the same around on mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
