Not sure if these have been covered much in the FAQ sections, but ive noticed these few things cropping up a bit lately. Hopefully these should help a little
1. I have fitted larger wheels than standard and i have rubbing sometimes going over bumps or when i have passengers in the back, what is it??
Answer

Quite often it is this inner lip which catches on the tyres over bumps or when carrying passengers.
Also your wheels may require spacers due to the wheels offset, If you have bought your wheels 2nd hand it may be that the person you have bought them from hasnt supplied the spacers. Seek advice from somewhere which sells these wheels and find out the necessary spacer width
2. I am looking to fit a VT kit to my Saxo and have heard that i need to make some modifications by the arches, what are they?
Answer
The rear panel and front wings on base models are of slightly different shape to the VT ones. The base model ones tend to sit lower down over the wheels arch.
When you remove a standard bumpstrip on the rear and place a VT arch up into position you'll see that the baseline of the VT arch takes a similar shape to the red line shown in the picture.
The shaded blue area is the part of the standard panel which needs to be cut away to ensure that is doesnt stick out in an unsightly mannor below the VT arch line.
A similar sized segment needs to be extracted at the same point on the front wing

3. When fitting a VT kit do i need to drill any holes in the bodywork or can i use some of the holes which are already there after removing the bump strip?
Answer
There are a few options available here:
Firstly where the bumpstrip is removed some of the original holes can still be used by the VT arch (on the rear) as they are a direct match.
Ive forgotten exactly how many of these there are down the strip but to show their location they are marked with a red dot.
Now this is where the difference is:
You can either drill new holes for where the blue dots are on the picture, an easy way to do this is paint the end of the clips with some paint and when the arch is offered up to the car the paint will stick on the panel in position. Dont drill the holes too big else the clips will just pop back out, and ensure that approproate rust prevention treatment is used!!!
Alternatively on this section of the arch it is possible to just use a adhesive such as TIGERSEAL instead of drilling. This is also a good adhesive to use for the VT arch panel where it goes down the bottom and sides marked in Green
On my car i drilled the holes on the top of the arch and the ones on the bottom i didnt drill, i used tiger seal on the sides and bottom to provide a better sealant to prevent road dirt and grime getting under the panel that likes to splash up in that general area

Hope these help a few people, ill add a few more bits as and when or whenever anyone requests.
Ill include some more diagrams on VT kit fitting upon request
