Pic Request: Bmw e36 with Bolt on arches

[eg-iain]

Just to get rid of the bad roll on my arches and any rust really....thought it not look too bad aswell.

Aha!

Fitting is OK, needs a little bit of tweaking. If they are on car will be lowered some more. Now it ain't possible because the original arch is ON the tyre

Here is one from NI, i think it looks well

any more pics/info on arches like that?

i need to do something like that with my arches. i have repaired them, cut them out and welded new ones on, flared them, pulled them and now they are rusting again .

atleast with fibreglass ones you can cut the old arch off. bond on fibreglass ones and no more rust

Looks to me like they're CBY arches made for an AE86.. can get them from Darren McNamara at .: MCNSPORT.COM :. Europe's Leading 1-Stop Tuning Shop

Will go lower once my HSD's has arrived!

Is it just me that think's bolt on arches don't look right on the front of e36's ?

 

[BigJames]

Fixed.

I did a version of that car slammed looked 10times better, i think it could still suit well with mine

The white one above looks really cobbled together and proper gash, would have the wheels though

If you search for e36 fibreglass fender flares on eBay (may need to turn on search all countries) there's some 150 posted for all four. Debated getting some for mine.

Your fitment is spot on.

Bolt on plastic shit will not be neater than a slightly wonky roll.

You have camber on the wheels which means bolt on plastic shit will always stick out at the wrong angle compared to the wheel.

Does this help you drift?

I'm looking to get mega lock out of my m3 soon and to do so will need to cut out front arches to fit low et wheels on spacers even with cambers.
But for most people it's bullshit and looks gayer than just rolled.

Correct answer!

 

[eg-iain]

No its not for helping me drift, it's mainly due to rust on the rear arches and thought rather than cutting out, welding in new plate, filler and painting. Just to get these and cut out the rust.

Still not 100% on them tho as you said the fittment on my wheels is spot on

 

[MJG]

Honestly just sand back the rust, stick some fibreglass in there and you'll be 'reet. You would be throwing away the nice fitment if you bodged caravan arches on there.

Did you just tell someone they had 'nice fitment'? What a gaylord sellout...
