   didnt the super 1600's have wide arch kits on anyway? or was that the Kit car?
   
   thought they were the same thing.

   basicali they where pure proformace machines, = light as poss,...
   
   the had there own wide arch wings made from once piece > lighter then metal wing plastic trim.
   
   there own bumers to match wide arches, again lighter then standard bumpers.
   
   so you wouldt need the rear vt kit and dont need on front door as dead weight, and wouldt match, also if you gona strip it to a bare shell and replace every part on it why go for a more pricey shell just get pov spec one in 1st place,

   basically i need some wider arches for the wide track kit i might be getting depending on costs really n the maxi kit is the only non barry boy style i can find.

   dont think they make the kit anymore.
   
   if you did find some it will cost you thousands for all the stuff you will need.

   Theres a few places that sell the kit in europe and theyre reasonably priced aswell as much as a normal barry boys kit.

   i have found a place in the uk that sell the full maxi kit in carbon or kevlar or grp.
   
   however
   
   its £1300 which is why i would prefere to get the arches like the ones in my avatar as they cut back in to the body

    ever thought about making your own? or getting some custom made to go on a flat arch?
    
    literaly just the arch extensions and weld them to the body then fill over and spray?
    
    probably be alot cheaper.

    Use polystyrene to make a mould then fiberglass over it.
