Custom wide arches!



  • My quick mess about, ill do some propper pics soon….

    The grey represents spltter/aftermarket bumper profile so it will suit modified/unmodified mx..I prefer this look as it would follow the original lines and still use our mudflap mounts reducing need for lots of holes to be drilled. The arch would best be mounted at the top by sikaflex as the lip will need removing if spacers are to be used on std offset wheels

    Here is a far fetched arch kit, i have the ideas in mind but hard to put to paper, just doodles, anyone else got ideas?



  • they are ok! i know were going for smooth arches but whhat about a bodykit
    ?



  • unless you all want the same kit, it would be easier for you to go your own ways about getting a wide arch kit…

    Your going to have to extend the skirts, front and rear valance aswell so your all have to have the same bumpers... :?



  • heres an idea of pics

    any ideas of what ye would change

    Kinda have to agree, but there is lots of potential heree. I think just a basic arch kit would be great allowing everyone to branch out into their own style. A bodykit with arches would be a huge job, i like my first pic idea as it can be exaggerated or kept subtle depending on the owners requirements.

    Has your guy come up with any ideas or sketches yet?





  • OFFT some lovely lovely motors in there :)



  • i told ye… we have to come up with drawings and they lill make it!



  • i like those rear lights in the top pic! some of those look well good but too much for me! a wee bit ott



  • white monteral racing soooo looks like a Celica front end job…. why o why, poor man celica imo



  • i got romar mx3 as my background at the mo… everytime i look at it it gives me the horn!!! lol

    I chopped the alfa spyder rear lights onto my car, but somehow it just doesnt look as good!

    Although im lovin the punto headlights on the mx3 8)



  • My favourite,



  • ^^Me too. Front looks a little too rounded with that rear tho I think. Rear is fucking awesome though.



  • LOOK AT THE GREEN ONE, Its got a pop top conversion like the CRX and removed rear windscreen.



  • removed rear window ;) A mod that NEEDS to be done to every mx3!!! lol



  • I'm lovin the pop top, bet that aint cheap.

    Wish I could find some pics from different angles.



  • you could just make it so the boot rises vertically on some hydraulic struts…

    If you wanna do it, speak to rayvern. They can do anything when it comes to hydraulics!!!

    MR2 glass looks cool in the hatches to :)



  • WOW, i was thinking of doing the Pop top conversion myself as a way of loosing weight but i was told that it would prob end up heavier in the long run due to metal sheeting/welding and reinforcement and filler.

    I have been tempted to make the MX a Pickup, thing is that requires more strength again, so its just much easier to get a perspex rear window to shed the weight….
