Hey guys.

My cars going in to get a full respray in the next couple months.
I'm getting some work done, mainly just repairing my b pillars, and repairing the 'sinking' where my door handles used to be.

I'm also getting my rear bumper recessed as i have a smooth boot but am thinking of getting the arches smoothed into the bodywork along with my steinmetz replica skirts.

Anyone got any pics of it done ?
Whats the chances of it holding up?

Thanks

blended in arches will last a good while, if theyre done well and securely>

plus make sure your wheels are the right offset and never hit the archs cos of corse this could cause them to break or crack

I had mine done and loved the look, lots of people on here told me that they wouldn't last 5mins, the bodyshop were doing it wrong etc but 18months later they still solid as a rock, Gav has the shell now and even after all the abuse of taking the car apart the arches never once cracked!

My rear wheels caught the rears, my fronts took a battering and still perfect!

It will finish the smooth look off Archie, I say go for it,
