Styling Hormann Wide Arch

[PhatAshKi]

How much wider is the hormann wide arch kit, and does it actually look any wider. I was thinking bout getting the Front and rear valance but for another £200 id fancy the wide arches and a complete wide kit.

Anyone have any knowledge on this? And does it look any good?

Seriously thinking bout this before i get a respray.

bloomin eck, the bumper is a bit rediculous on that. I am not sure if i like it. Is is good being wide an all (and very wide it is), but that bumper just dont do it for me.

Thats the front valance yeah is that the wide kit as well, cant really see. The best pic i got is the one from the tuneing shop and that isnt very good.

Edit* Actually now looking at it more closely i can see its wide. Thats wat like. Now some nice wide skirts will do

Oh i actually quite like the bumper its summit different to see everymorning.
I think it actually suits the car and makes the Cinq stand out more than the Abarth kit does at the moment. Dont get me wrong the Abarth kit is lovely and it does look good but i fancy summit different. I like to be different gets people attention. lol

I havent got the patients nor the skill and time to do summit like that. Simple enough to just buy the kit and get it fitted and do my final touches my self.

Yours does look cool tho, i do like wide arch cars, wat did ya have to do to make that any welding ??

originally, it they was gonna be welded, till i realised i'd got stainless steel and not normal steel. and bein as i havn't got a special welder for stainless, i ended up with about 20 pot rivets in each arch, then fiberglass and then filler to get the shape! took about 33.5 hrs to do all the body work.
was all fun and nasty swear words, lol. rather scary too when the angle grinder was about 20mm away from the petrol feeder pipe!

KARL NOT IAN,

Dunno where I got Ian from, must get some sleep! LOL

hehe, s'ok mate, lol.

yeah get rather a few looks, from what i can gather most like it. and obviously you get ppl that laugh too, but everyone to their own really.

note; the back bumper is soon to be reshaped, a little wider looking at the bottom, will look completely different!

 

[surfin_fella]

that is one damn nice Cinq!

 

[Liam]

Thats better Karl, Holy Fu*k!!!! That's evil!

Don't worry cos those that mock.............can't think of the rest of tha famous saying LOL

Nice work and don't let anyone dis the power of the Cinq's, your mission is to now find wheels to live in them arches as if you didn't already realise!

[K4RL]

my son (daryl) was asking if you are taking that car to skeggy he thinks its phat

 

[arc]

looked sweet at stoke, but i'm not sure im keen on the back anymore - it needs a bumper as wide as the arches, or smooths in from them anyway i reckon

 

[hippycinq]

when ru getting the wheels then Karl..? see, im not the only one who sees ladinnotts and thinks your called ian!!
By the way, how do you get a pic at the bottom of your writing?

i'm gonna be re doing to back bumper soon, so its the same from the arches to the bottom of the bumper!

door handles coming off with new mirrors and solinoid bottons

not sure what i'm doing yet with the spoiler, just want something subtle, unlike the rest of the car. lol.

wheels soon as i got the cash and then having it all resprayed in silver and gold flip, with a blue pearl. should look awesome then.
