Joe Clifford used to be the editor of Banzai magazine and does freelance work for both Toyota and Lexus, would be great to see this featured on the blog or in a magazine

Hi , I bought some spats just like these



But they look ridiculously small and don't meet the required regulations , but thanks for everyone's input

That's looking much better but definitely think they need to come down a touch in width.

Were the Tranny arches good value?









Quattro blisters?

Yes , agreed , that's where a little more trimming is required .
Just to move the top part of the arch in a little further

They were from eBay , about £40 if I remember correctly

Quattro blisters - someone has mentioned that before .... ;-)

ETA: Have a look in the comments at the end, it seems like Lexus want to get in touch, in a positive way!

Yeah I know !!!!
And very excited I was too

I have been in contact with Joe , so I hope to see something soon .

Bit busy with work at the moment but it would be nice to get the arches completed within the next month or so

There's always someone who, if you go to Tenerife, is going to go to Elevenerife.

"Espace has some age related marks"

I think a few age related marks are pretty insignificant when your Espace has a jet engine in the boot!

That's one way to put it...

Could you stop the arches a little higher and blend in with the black plastic on the bumper? Just a thought, it might keep it a little more subtle. Looking good either way!

My god what the hell have you done

I thought jet engines needed clean air in front of them?

[LordFlathead]

I will start another thread so not to derail this one.. Not going to be very fast updates because I have a lot to learn

By coincidence I have just noticed this picture in GG. The arches look similar to what yours may look like when painted.

PLEASE don't make the arches look like this

You nutter, love it

Lord flathead, you must post that on the frivolous purchases thread

[robrobc]

Not only is that beautifully insane................I do not know who should get more respect the original builder or purchaser, but the best bit is that there were loads of other bidders on it so with any luck there should be many more mental projects to come.

Hats off to all

[Jayfish]

Bunch of mentalists
