jamiea7x Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 i dont think so i wouldnt see the nedd for the 3l to run larger front arches than a standard lupo when they ran smaller skinnier wheels, the were both made from aluminium tho, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted December 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 They're hard to come by second hand, most breaking ones have been front ended so that stuffs the wings, from vw they're like 450 each in primer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted December 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 Just checked, 330 plus vat last time I looked, so still not cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted December 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 Jamie mine are muillered bud, got bad bubbling issue on one side which I fear will only get worse as there is only so much metal there, and thanks to a botched arch rolling attempt, not by myself, the other arch has been butchered beyond repair.

Pete Posted December 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 My build thread never seemed to get much love, maybe coz I didn't update it every time I washed it or replaced the air freshened or summat so I gave up on it, and Rich, what you mean??
