The fronts would definately, but the rear's would be in the way of the door. If you cut a piece off, and sort it so it stays on the door.
They're by Rieger, the kit's called Rieger Infinity II.
The bumpers and skirts are ABS plastic, the arches are GRP, but if they're front Rieger, I'd hope they're metal.

The bumper's are wider to accomodate the arches, you'd have to make your's wider too. Would look nice with really wide wheels as well.


So this weekend, I completely stripped the car, the whole interior came out so it was totally bare. I checked the whole body, and only found a speck of rust on the floorpan, where the drain hole plug had come out. Gave everything a good clean, scrubbed the carpets, spent the whole rewiring and taping up the interior loom.
I repaired some of the bodywork, grinding away little spots of forming rust, waxoyling over it, Hammeriting it, the priming it and then spraying it. Stone chips will never get through that. Put half the interior back in, got too dark and retired.

Will start welding the arches in tommorow finally!

You use a 'joggler' on the panel, so it fits flush with the main body panel. Then spot weld and grind the welds away. Then the fun part, filling and painting. frown
