jambojones10 0 Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 Am in two minds whether to take the arches off my car and get some smooth side strips. Have had look under the arches and there a few rust bubbles so dont know whether to just leave it as it is or spend money on the side strips and arches being sprayed, what you guys think?

purple highline monster 0 Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 what year is the car? if its pre 95 i would just leave it as it is unless you go the whole hog including body colour bumpers etc, just my 2p`s worth Link to post Share on other sites
jambojones10 0 Posted July 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 yes its a 94 so would have to have the tops of the bumpers colour coded aswell Link to post Share on other sites
Nerih 0 Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 looks sweet as is, just get some back to black turtle wax & try some tyre dressing too.. Link to post Share on other sites
badboyV6 4 Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 imo it looks better without but it would be costly to get it all sorted... depends really if you want the hassle and all.... like the colour of your vr btw :-) Link to post Share on other sites

vr6turbo 27 Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 very nice I like the front lower spoiler where did you get it? Link to post Share on other sites
dusty_mauve 0 Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 you don't need to colour code the bumpers if you remove the arches, I like the way it breaks the car up with the black textured bits, hence how my car looks Link to post Share on other sites
sijo 0 Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 Actually looks quite good, I was thinking along the lines of the SWG front and rear bumpers with colour coded/ smoothed original bumpers. Anyone done this ? Link to post Share on other sites
