   whats the difference between a flat arch and normal?
   
   does the flat arches mean smaller wheels have to be used?

   And the arches are thinner on the flat arch, so fitting wider alloys can sometimes give you a problem on the flat arches whereas they wouldn't on the saxo's with the VT kit. When you fit a vt kit to a flat arch you hack part of the arch away making it wider

   Basically furios, VTR's and VTS's have a standard bodykit known as the VT bodykit, and this includes the bumpers, skirts and arches, and thats what gives you the arches.
   Rip the arches off your furio and there will be a flat arch saxo underneath <- i wouldnt advise doing that though.
