    hi, is there any way i could put vtr wide arches on my 1999 saxo x with stock bumpers?

    im guessing they wont sit flush with the stock bumpers but was just asking incase there is a way around it.

    thanks in advanced!!

    erm,,, seen a few vt arches on the stockbumpers, doesnt look that bad but you might aswell go and fit the bumpers aswell if your going to fit the arches as its only 4 bolts for the bumpers

    hmmm, i think i might fit the wide arches keep the stock bumpers and fit some front n back splitters aswell. just didnt want to try and fit the arches and drill the panels for them to look crappy.

    cheers anyway man

    why make the extra work when you can get the vt* bumpers. Why not spend the money on bumpers instead of splitters will work out alot cheaper i should think.

    just been looking on ebay and there is quite a few on there for a fair price, the bumpers will just bolt directly on wont they??

    Yep, only thing is the back arches might need chopping abit depending on how much your lowering the back, obviously where you cut them will be covered by the plastic trim..

    i actually seen this today, thought it was a vt, but on closer look it was a 1.1 with arches looked pretty good tbh
