He did;

Arches were cut, pulled out by hand, metal welded in place and then filled/smoothed and painted

No off the shelf stuff here, lol

Jimmy has mk1 astra arches on his van.

Specky isn't very computer literate, and doesn't have time for the Internet really, which is a shame

Oh, for those that are interested in it (and apologies for being off-topic) after it's last remap he found a leak in his inlet.

The car was remapped last Friday @ 26psi and produced 506bhp
