Title: Flared wheel arches - not Mini/MINI
Post by: Mudhen on June 05, 2013, 03:35:50 AM
Saw this car on BAT...followed the links to the picture gallery on the 034 Motorsports website.  I guess an 807 whp mid-engine, rwd GTI is ok, but the fab work...  :-\

The flares are what really got me.  They cut the outer lip off, set it out where they wanted it, then filled it in.

They had to modify the rear bumper cover to match up with the arches, too.

Came out pretty good.  Probably wasn't that guys first day on the job.

Pretty cool.  Beats plastic flares.
