Title: Arch Extensions?
Post by: Eklipze3k on June 29, 2009, 08:47:50 AM: Other than e-bay am not really sure where to look, Google's not much help either though it would maybe help if I could search in Polish or German ;)

you could get some glass ones for a mini, there are loads of differnt shapes, trim to fit, bond/screw them on and then blend them in.

Post by: Pete126 on July 01, 2009, 03:09:50 AM: Which ever way you decide to go its not going to be cheap, sometimes you've just got to bite the bullet and pay a premium price for a ready made kit which i can guarantee will need trimming to fit properly, but still the easiest and quickest option, depending on you fabrication skills and ingenuity its going to be very time consuming to get it to look right plus there's still the cost of the materials, thats what you pay for in a professional kit

Post by: Eklipze3k on July 01, 2009, 08:52:49 AM: @ landyman: I'll maybe give you a shout when I've got a better idea of what I need to do [-/
@ Pete126: Ingenuity = good, fabrication skills = not so good in that I've never done anything like that before, but I know a few people locally who are willing to help out.

I'm not even sure I'll need them yet, but just wanted to get a price in case they were required. Cheers dudes and dudettes :)

Where did you find that? And have you managed to communicate with them regarding any prices? I'm tempted to get some fibreglass doors for my 500, if they are not much more than the standard doors. 500 mania has some but they are over twice the price.
Does anyone know if you can fit the window winder and internals to a fibreglass door, or will it crack once drilled?

Post by: bis13 on July 01, 2009, 10:52:23 PM: i tried to get some sense out of them last year but being italian didnt understand me shouting english down the phone (yes i did ring them , one of the owners reckons he speaks english) the price of the arches were around 100 euros they also do some pretty mad 126 body kits for racing applications. dom if you get in touch with them could you ask about the group 2 arches for me and confirm a price and how to pay ?
