Now that looks spot on. What is the ceiling done with? Aluminium sheeting? Any more pictures? I love a garage shot

Put some fat rubber on the alloys today. The stretch on the current tyres where just silly and could have pretty much killed me if they popped off going 70mph on a motorway... no lies.

I am currently re-doing all four of the arches on the car pics to follow shortly... to allow me much more clearance so I can get these wider tyres on. As people have rightly pointed out, the practicality of the old arches meant that without jacking up a corner at a time to silly angles I couldn't actually get the alloys out from the car. The revised arches give far more clearance and actually show a bit of tyre which compliments the general look of the car imo... also the odd 'shark fin' type point that was on the rear arches is now gone and comes to a more refined curve which actually improves the rear 3/4 look of the car to no end.

not wanting to sound like a dick.. but miss-matched tread patterns?

Is the style of the alloy a secret or something? I've never see any pics of the rims / car side on profile photo...

 

[synthedup]

So are you reducing the width of the rear and removing the vents? Get some pics up of the work being done.

Do I look like the type of guy who cares about matching tread patterns lol... 8)

No. I'm simply cutting the existing Circles around the wheels larger by about an inch on all four sides. So the wheels actually come out of the bodywork lol.

I may be cutting a through hole out on the inside of the vents to make them functional i.e. air flow from rear tyres through bodywork... and using any left over mesh to form a gap sealer so larger stones dont wreck my paintwork.

That makes sense, IMO i think it will look better if you can see the whole wheel. any pics?
