to go wide arch or not

Post by phil »

ok
i kno most people like euro kits but i was thinking of getting the new velocity wide arch kit from ultimate velocity
anyway i was wondering if people think it is worth getting a wide arch kit which costs an extra 1000 atleast to fir of a standard arch
ill etiher get that wide arch kit or a combat 2 again
i know u will say do what u think is best but i dont think i have ever seen a wide arch corsa in real life
also will 17s look small with the arches?

should look good, but will depends cause some 17\'s look good some look small, if your car\'s got the power i\'d say go 18\'s cause then you can use it as a show car aswell.

the wide arch one is sexy though

ive heard quality of kit isnt that good, but mine was fine, just that the back bumper never turned up. and cancelled the order after they sent the wrong one. n 4months had gone by..... not exagerating :rant:

i like the arches on th new UV kit, i would advise 18 inch rims for it tho, bigger arches means bigger rims

mine look a bit small in comparison with the front bumper

Sorry mate but if it costs an EXTRA £1000 to fit the wide arch like you said above, your not leaving yourself a great deal of money out your £1500 budget to get the car sprayed!

Just make sure if you can get it done for that price you check out the bodyshops previous work and make sure your happy with what you see

well its like 1200+vat at ultimate velocity to fit and spray in a normal corsa colour
so i am thinking nv cant b that much more expensive
thinking of asking for a sponshership c if i can get away with it lolthen after i get the kit i can smooth it all off with a custom paint job later
sach i aint seen u online for a while
how much u recon your place would charge to fit the kit and spray???
