[/quote']To be honest they didnt have any markings on but they felt pretty poor quality when i changed the bulbs, What i have now are original Hella and are very good quality and good light output at night, i would stick with a reputable brand if i was you but in-pro are usually good too i used to sell there products a few years ago Link to post Share on other sites

cornishvr6 52 Posted January 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Think i have now decided to de-arch the car and go for the highline bumpers with colour coded tops, keep looking at both cars with and without arches and im now swaying towards removing them, What do you guys think?My new set of ngk plugs turned up today..bargain of the year, Also got a local firm that make alloy fuel tanks, and other fabrications to sort me out with a sump guard so will post some pics once its started and do a trial fit,Got some other parts on the way which will also make this a little different, more on that later Link to post Share on other sites
geo7087 11 Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 sounds good Mark, would be very interested to see the sump guard progress RE; Arches, ive always been a fan of de-arched but its personal preference, i think de arched with texture top bumpers normally looks quite nice Link to post Share on other sites

cornishvr6 52 Posted January 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 yes i may try just the arches first and leave the textured bumpers and see how i get on, As for the sump guard i need to drop in my template and they can quote me then, But the quality of work is very good and once mine is done he can do many more with my pattern to work against so will let you know on prices and pics as soon as i get them Link to post Share on other sites
cornishvr6 52 Posted January 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Been after one of these battery boxes for a while now as i think they look much neater than the jackets, This one was from a mk4 r32 so got to work today adapting it to fit...Its taking longer than i thought but got most of it trimmed so still use the existing mk3 battery tray and just need a longer 13mm bolt for the battery clamp and should be job done....will post pics when its completed, Also as you can see in the pic below i have had the front arch off to see how it looks without it....still unsure to be honest, need to source some cl side strips or painted highline versions.As for the oil leak this is soon to be fixed...lol, Link to post Share on other sites
cornishvr6 52 Posted January 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Looking at the above pictures im still unsure as to how the wheels sit, maybe spacing them out a little will help, or maybe a whole new choice of wheel would be better, Whats your opinions?

gaz.veedub 0 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 looks nice mate,i'd personally space the rears but it does look well. Link to post Share on other sites
richievr 1 Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 i like it on those wheels, think it looks great..de-arching it will make the sides slightly narrower so you may not need to space them out at all.here are some very old before and after pics of mine when i removed my arches..before.after Link to post Share on other sites
cornishvr6 52 Posted January 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 cheers guys, looks well that rich, im still undecided if to take them off...may just leave them for now, Still trying to fit the mk4 battery box but its not going too well, got it all trimmed so fits in now.... new prob i have is getting the live and earth cables to fit without cutting more holes in the box, On another note my spare fuel rail has been sent to a local polishers so looking forward to see the finished item Link to post Share on other sites
