Glen - I haven't got crazy offsets... best I could do was go 9.5" all round. Coilovers are at the lowest settings on the front so will need to look into that!! Rear wheels now need slight spacers to fill the gap hehe...
lol ok guys - here's some pics of the rear wide-arch work that Daz @ Innovation Bodyworx did for me. He's awesome with his bodywork skills - hats off to yet again another superb job on my Silvia
Visual comparison of one side with new arch just bonded on and the other side still stock...
Early days...
Fuel flap brackets were eventually extended and gap filled. She's all flush... can't stand the 'recessed look'!!
I will take more pics when the weather gets better but this is from Curborough a week after it was all completed. Daz has bonded on the rear arches using screws to help the process. Once it was all set, the screws were removed. He sanded down the fibreglass for ages as with all kits, they never seem to match from one side to the other?! After speaking to Albert at Knight-Racer recently who trades in all sorts of bodykits etc, he said even the branded ones like Veilside or Vertex don't often match up exact!! I thought it was cos I bought copies but this isn't necessarily the case - I'm glad I didn't fork out ££££ for JDM stuff
Anyways, the other side (fuel flap side) needed a lot more work since there was a ridge like 'hump' which made it look weird and not right at all (running from one part of wheel arch up towards the rear quarter window). To rectify this, Daz cut a 2 inch wide rectangle out of the panel which allowed him to push it in and make it flush again. More fibreglass work was done to get it all smooth.
Finally, the insides of the old arch to the new arch were filled in so there are no dodgy gaps above the wheels which can lead to moisture trapment and RUST!!! *no no* As said, the fuel flap was made flush and hey presto it's all done woop!!!
Another pic - this time taken outside Knight-Racer (you can see R34 and GTR in reflection hehe)...
