Yeah I have to agree with this one, is great not having to wait to get things painted, and the fenders came finished in a simple gloss white, which gave the vinyl a great surface to tack onto.
Is the car on a more or less stock alignment?
I ask because even with the wide guards the rims still appear to poke a tiny bit.
Interested to see the new alignment specs once it’s done.
They do poke a little more in the front due to the toe-out currently, when I adjusted caster the LCA got pulled in at the back and so I gave it a little less toe, all good now
If I'm honest though the most recent photos on the thread were taken before the tweaks were done, it doesn't poke as much now
Additionally, how do you set your ride height?
Are the tyre tops just below guard level?
I’ll be resetting mine asap as the rear springs have settled lower again, and I like some rake...
It's fairly even front and rear, and yes that's correct, top of the tyre just underneath the fender from a profile view.
The tyre has heaaappss of room to tuck with suspension travel and doesnt experience any rubbing or scrubbing
What’s the advantage of fibreglass vs FRP?
Is it strength? I’ve seen video of VG smashing splash moulds with a mash hammer and they don’t even dent!
Fibreglass is FRP (Fibre Reinforced Polymer)
I’ve been tracking progress of the Russian widebody kits.
At first it was all Pandem style, which imho really doesn’t fit the slab side BP/BL body.
Then the S209 came out and it was like a lightbulb went off: Fenderist revealed their kit that looked like it belonged on the car, at last, with the various tricky areas like rear quarters dealt with by the use of cutouts.
Then next minute, VG brings out a very similar looling kit: choices are great!
I love that there are now kits available, not entirely sure I would move away from stock body but it's nice to see manufacturers catering to our cars!
