Riveted on arches
 

Has anyone riveted on there arches(standard bodykit)? If so any pictures?

my mate got fed up of his drivers front arch falling off his gti so he got some self tappers and a drill and drilled them on took about 2 min haha looks shit but its a track car so he doesn't care

you could drill and self tap then on underneath the side indicators and maybe in the wheel arch if they keep coming off

Could you get any pictures?

Why not just put rivets through the arch trim & use the standard method of attaching the trim to the wing?

I'm after that rough look to complement my fooked exterior, aswell as stopping them falling off.

It looks shit. Instead of looking like a hard ass rally car it looks like some knob thought a rivet would look good there.

Get some M6 allen headed bolts.

If done poorly on a poor spec car agreed.

lol. Mine were done on my VTS before I bought the car. They don't work on the VT* arches because of the shape of them. It just pulls the arch in where the rivet is. I've now removed them all and replaced them with bolts - much easier if I clip the arch something on track/while racing.

nah sorry no pics, i dont see him that much and when i do hes on his bike lol

off topic but are you the guy that bought my house mates comp2's?

Tigerseal/silicon the fuck out of it on, won't come off. + use the original clips. Won't look shit... probably won't ever come of unless you break it, (or scrape the tiger seal of - scratching the paintwork underneath.. but who cares, the VT kit hides it).

can look really good sometimes. think its more of an oldskool thing to pull it off though

You mean like this? or am i completely mis-reading the topic.

^^^ This is what I mean with the bolts. Rivets don't work because of the way they pull it all in

Yeah i am mate, he mentioned your name funnyly enough.

Thats what i was thinking would happen if i used rivets.

i randomly saw my mate the other day and thought of you so i took a pic lol

used to counter sink xr2 kits and rivet them onto 1.0 fiestas and fill it over, was spot on, no one knew the diference..... till you tried to race it lol

Tigerseal or stickerflex
