So what started as a simple Brembo brake upgrade ended up as a custom wide arch body kit.
Let's start from the beginning, I had the GT500 Brembos fitted under the old stock 18s and when it came to changing the wheels, I wanted something a little old school. Seeing as the DD Bullitts are uncommon out here that's what I decided on.
Of course when it came down to it, the rims don't clear the brakes. Fair enough, so we decided to use a big spacer to provide the clearance needed. Only problem then was the massive inch and a half of tyre sticking out past the fenders.
After much consultation with Louie (G.T) we decided to extend the wheel arches. Cut a long story short, the cheapest and best looking option was to cut the original fenders and mold wider arches with fiberglass and aluminium.
Got the car back yesterday and here are the end results. Apologies for the crappy pics but we've just had a storm so the car is filthy and the pics were shot from a Blackberry.
