reaper1_3 0 Posted June 27, 2006 interesting idea i have no idea!!! why not use a rado one??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted June 27, 2006 Gotta be careful at the rear as it's double skinned IIRC. Are they buggered beyond repair? You can still get the rear quarter panels I think, which obviously have the arches as part of the panel. Mazda RX8 have nice round arches like the C's, maybe a little big, but perfect for fitting huge wheels behind as they wear 18s as standard ;-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g60greeny 0 Posted June 27, 2006 why not use a rado one??? to get rear arches ya need the full 1/4,a bit on the expensive side for me,last i heared they were about 500 quid each!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhillT 0 Posted June 28, 2006 don't somewhere like Hadrian panels have corrado arches? I can't believe I can get arches for the Mk1, but not the corrado which is 10 years younger Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

16vradge 0 Posted June 28, 2006 I'd just cut them out of a scrapped C, use a nibbler to get a nice tidy cut - Frost sells 'em. I wouldn't try arches off any other cars unless you do front arches to match. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Walesy 0 Posted June 28, 2006 anyone breakin a rado that wouldn't mind choppin the rear arches out for me? Try RKE - they've got a G60 that they're breaking , and they had one of the arches nicely cut out last time I looked. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
