    If you dont need them for room for the wheels I wouldn't, I have done them to one car then realised I gain no benifit from alot of cost.

    we were tossing around the idea of bubble arches for our mk1 aswell but with the shell in such good condition we couldnt dare cut it up!

    so as above,unless you really really like the look of them.

    +1 unless you really need to.

    Twin cam lips on the front and rolled at the rear FTW.

    I have a mk1 shell with bubbles on, only cause the car was side swiped at the rear(behind the door)very hard to fix as it crunched the inner arch too....solution was to bubble arch it!! Took about a week(plus a few days making the f/glass arches) to fit and blend in, still its been 11yrs since i fitted them and no cracks or splits
