Forest arches
Has anyone here fitted fiberglass arches to there Mk2?
Reason i ask is i have gone to try and put my front ones on and i just cant seem to get them to line up properly.
I'll put pics up later to show you'll what i mean.
Oh and do you guys know anyone that, if i pay em enough money lol, would fit the flares for me?
Thanks
Boz

    Rightyo. As you can see Alfa fiberglass put some strange end on the flare and I cant see what im going to do with it... It sorta looks right at the back of the wheel and i reckon when I go to put the bolts in it will sit against the panel properly, except that bit at the front. Oh and it that the right placement for it? I just sorta put it where i felt it looked and fitted best.

I think you need to get off the piss mate =P
Are you sure? as soon as i read your post i went outside and tried to put them on the other side and it just didn't look or fit as well as the way i have pic'd. Ive contacted afla fiberglass to see if they have any pics of which one goes where and any fitment pics fingers crossed.
Thanks KIZZA =) lol

That yellow esky looks mean.
The rear ones line up fine... as fine as they can with a door in the way but im confident i can get them to fit. Its the fronts that are screwy. I got a mexico style spoiler from afla and its not going to help fitting the flares.
It just doesn't seem like the way the flare is made that its going to fit. But i would think afla fiberglass wouldn't sell something that doesn't fit.

Hi Boz,
Those flares you have definately need a spoiler to match up to by the shape of them.
What happened to the Yellow car PJ?
Cheers,
Phil.

Looks like thats how they are ment to go on. I would suspect that my car is f**ked and the front has been pushed in at some point and thats why i cant get the flare sitting right.

Hey Phil. I purchased the back spioler thats sitting in front of my car in the first pic. And when i ordered the flares i told them i had the rubber spoiler and they said thats what the flares are made to mate with. As the fiberglass one is a repo of it I shouldn't have problems lol.
Thanks for the link whooligan. When his just trial fitting the flares (unpainted) is exactly how i want my car to look. I will email him and see if he is willing to send me some more pic/info.
Sterling no Panel shop around Albury/Wodonga wants anything to do with my escort. Oh i remember there was one but he had hes head up his ass and i refuse to deal with him.
Thanks for all the help guys. I'll see what i can do tomorrow. I think a lil hit with a BIG hammer might be called for =P

I'm using the same spoiler (std plastic one) with Alfa flares and had to cut the fronts off to suit. It's on a race car so not the prettiest of finishes. OK, worked out how to add pics Chin spoiler will trimmed back to the black line.
