Rolled arches, any photos?
Hi folks,
Was watching a video the other day which i saw a glimpse of an RX7 FD which looked to have standard wings, ie not full on wide arch kit, just kinda bent out a bit at the extremeties by the wheels. Now couldn't get a good view of it but it did look rather nice in passing....
Now given mine is in for some bodywork stuff anyway (dont ask
) wondered if anyone had better shots of this kind of thing to tempt me or otherwise?
Cheers

NO offense and I don't mean to sound like an ignorant American but can you translate this into American English? Do you mean the fenders? And what do you mean by standard wings? I assume Wide Arch kit would be wide body kit. Hmmm so maybe you mean Wide fenders like ones from companies like petit, RE, and FEED I believe.
Like this?

aha yes sorry folks yes the bits over the wheels that you call fenders i guess.....
That is the gist of what i was looking at although on the vid it more looked like the very end of the fender by the wheel had been bent outwards slightly & my understanding of "rolling the arches" was that they were rolled back (to get better clearance to wheels etc) so i guess it's probably a custom on off thing for one of the Jap drifters but in passing it did look rather nice.....

Do a search under banana RE, that's his car. There's plenty of pics of his ride from the last sevenstock.

Perfect! Thank you very much. I love everything about that car except for the front fenders and the GT wing. Much bigger fan of the GT II wing from RE.
Just checked to see what he's running and he's only got 265 on those super bling RE wheels... hmm.

aha must confess i wondered wot u were on about then for a minute while looking at the beama but yes 
is the kinda thing i had seen on video & it doesn't look too bad with the wings, arches, fenders (thinking about it again i thought you referred to fenders in the same way we do bumpers, the very front or backend, as in fender bender) being bent outwards.
Anyone got eany experiance of this or better photos as i think it does still look rather good but if it it is a big mission & more of a one off thing then i dont think it's something my insurance will fancy paying for (shh dont ask but lets just say my FD needs a few new body parts)
Cheers thou folks
