bubblegoose Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Is heating and shaping some existing ones an option? most will be made of FG, so heating wont soften them stretching smaller ones wouldnt be that hard with a bit of imagination ill be doing mine as soon as/if the tyres turn up/fuck you simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zep Posted June 17, 2010 Author Share Posted June 17, 2010 2 grand, fuck lords. Would rather try with polystyrene first I think. Or someone find me some ZG flares that I can at least test fit. Perhaps I could get some and just cut a section out of them to shorten them. You in auckland? I will be picking mine up from auckland when the container gets here. I could pop round and have a play if you want. Maybe you could put front ZG flares on both front and rear? Yeah dude, in Auckland. That would be cool. I've sized up both the front and rear ZG flares and they are approx 10" longer from tip to tip than my arches, so freaking tinsy they are. So cutting in the middle might do it, just might be a bitch to get it looking all smooth again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Just scoped out this in the Dolly thread, it's an NZ car, as seen by the 'coon ute beside it. Might be worth trying to find who and where, flares on those are likely a similar arch size to the Geminstein. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know know anything about this car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Maybe try leaving a comment on one of his videos? http://www.youtube.com/user/MrTriumphmad I just googled "TriumphMad Racing" (it's on the front apron) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyteler Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Actually, maybe get NewGuy to measure his arches to give you a basic idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My name is Russell Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 FLARES LOOK SIMILAR TO THAT EXTRA WIDE SUPER FAST BMW2000TURBO THAT ALWAYS SEEMS TO BE AROUND. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zep Posted June 18, 2010 Author Share Posted June 18, 2010 On closer inspection, those flares are crabon fibre. No way I can afford that shiz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zep Posted June 18, 2010 Author Share Posted June 18, 2010 Some of these super-wide ZG rears all around could be fucking cool. Cut and shut or not if need be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikuni Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Some of these super-wide ZG rears all around could be fucking cool. Cut and shut or not if need be. please do this, best so far if you need them that big to cover wheels. These wheels almost look bigger than 15x8 p0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidTheCreator Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 this celica pulls them off quite well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikuni Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 It does. Only problem I can see is in the first photo (below) the flares trail back at the rear of the car. That looks awesome with a black car, but zeps yellow car with black flares might look a bit funny like this because you'd be able to see yellow underneath the guard. Could probably sort something out though. Those are one of the better examples in this thread I think. this celica pulls them off quite well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My name is Russell Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 I used them standard ones that float around on trademe with a bit of bog. did not achieve much more tyre space. really easy to shape to body that way. always looked at the bolt on ones and wondered how they get they to fir so nicely.
