If i do go down this route itll have to be perfect otherwise i wouldnt do it.. the actual real WRC parts ive seen match up perfectly, especially the rear door and 1/4 panels. There all in metal so no chance of fiberglass bog cracking etc... but this is very expensive..

looks as if that bumper just wasnt installed correctly.

but will the TE37s actually suit thats the question...

In regards to concave... they are GTR offset, so plenty concave, hard to get a chop that accurate though!
I just think it wasnt installed properly, all of the WRC panels ive seen fit perfectly...

For a change, I agree.


GD's look shit with widebodies 99% of the time. Im yet to see one that made me go "Wow, thats hot". There are some so-so kits, but most look butt-ugly. Generally because the rear guards always look like a tacked on after thought.

Clean factory lines >>>>>>>>> Butt ugly widebody.

Shit widebody in previous page, makes the car look worse.

The BMW flat gunmetal grey 05sti on naisoc is the only peanut widebody i've liked, dont have a pic of it anymore but i'm sure you would've seen it.

your car looks way hotter now that the one with the WRC kit.

your front bumper is cleaner and the WRC one only looks good stickered up.

Your mirrors are cleaner (the ones on the WRC car look crapola in comparison)

If it were me, I would get hold of the WRC rear wing and another bootlid (so that you can swap depending on your mood) and if $$$ permitted, get the wheels as well. That way, you can basically change the look of your car with several combinations of wheels and rear wings.

I could not justify cutting up a perfectly good car.

Just my 2c anyway. I just want to see you enjoy it more.

I quite like the APR widebody kit.

(minus the enormous wing and the canards on the front)

My 2c. It doesn't matter how wide the body is, it's more important to have the rim/tyre/body aspect right.

ie; The top of the tyre needs to be just inside the guard lip, the rest of it needs to be hanging out on 3+ deg of neg camber! That looks way better than massive wide body with the tyres inside, like a A9X on it's way to the pits!

I think the pics i posted up of the that widebody car are average as everyone has been saying, but im sure that it just wasnt put together that great and the finished product is much nicer than that.. In saying that im not looking at changning the body lines dramatically until i have funds and do some thorough investigations..

So yes i will be out enjoying the car.. hahaha 25th may springs to mind at AHG..ahahah

Not a fan of the APR widebody, has to be WRC or not at all imo..

Dougie are u saying that it should also have 3+ deg neg camber for the rear or just the fronts??
