Slim 0 Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 The first owner of my car for reasons best known to himself put the early style arches and sills onto my Highline and colour coded them, he thought they looked better with the ABT splitter, etc. It's been my intention so far to get them all removed and smoothed over the way it should be, that was until I came across this pic of a car with the same front splitter and very similar rims (mine aren't split rim) and fell in love with the arches.Only problem is, what are they? Where do I get them? Or are they custom, and if so, how diffuclt would it be to get someone to do it? [ Edited ] Link to post Share on other sites
dub_weiser 0 Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Think thats the ABT WideBody kit. remember seeing it on some American cars and have pic's of it from years back. From knowley only the arches were included not the bit above the skirting on the rear. Speak to Awesome as they do ABT bits or RSD. Link to post Share on other sites

Slim 0 Posted January 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 I'm still liking it, found some more pics, this ones have them blended in a little more, I've got pretty much the same wheels and front end, I think it's look awesome, and wouldn't be so "in your face" on a darker colour car like mine. The rear wing is definitely chav though. Looks a bit shoddy on the pastel colour cars but gives a good general idea methinks. Link to post Share on other sites

antera309 3 Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 You can get a similar but more subtle effect by having your existing arches pulled.Thinking about having this done myself.[ Edited Fri Jan 07 2005, 06:31PM ] Link to post Share on other sites

dub_weiser 0 Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Arches alone it does look nice, but doubt the kit will be cheap if you can get it. Alternative is to pull your arches as suggested. Link to post Share on other sites
