arches

Post by cavyboi »

does any one know what cars have the same size ish arches as a cav??? (not bothered if they need a bit of moddifying to fit)

because i have come up with an idea of putting some arches on my cav so it looks differant to everyone elses

as i am now going to get m3 side skirts and arches moddified to fit all smoothed in just so it looks a bit differant

i know it not to everyones taste but like i have said before it going to be a 1 off cav

Have you looked at the new bmw compacts they have wideish arches, its gonna be a case of a tape measure and some hunting in reailty

You looked at wide escort arches, they might be a bit too wide and too curvy for the cav shape but id just wander some carparks for ideas
