Has anybody ever fix flares to a griffith? I'm studying how to transform my '96 in a small and light 'barchetta' type roadster with small windshield, flares and widening the track with larger 16/15'' rims...

Any idea?

(...just in case i've put on my flame suit...)

VERY cool and very Inspired thinking... Griff , flared arches, deep dish 16", "speedster" screen treatment cloud9..

Any Photoshop types out there to show us what this vision of beauty would really look like ?

I think Retro has the right idea about getting a PShop image done before you start making any cuts wink

I would certainly like to see what it looks like smile but i think it will be a case of Marmite biggrin

Why? Pleeeeeeease, don't massacre any more Griffs! What is wrong with the one you have?
There is a limited number of Griffs on the road, and every year a few are lost, some to accidents, some to fires and some to philistines with angle grinders.

Don't forget - we spent the sixties, seventies and eighties wrecking old Victorian and Edwardian houses with hardboard and artex. We have spent the last 18 years trying to reverse the awful damage we did to some lovely and extremely well built houses.

For God's sake, go and buy a Saxo or a Corsa!

No, we aren't. You have just made the best possible argument for buying a Tuscan Racer.

Re: Griff rarity , point taken.

But, for where im slumped (just South of a bottle of Shiraz hehe) , this is looking Good .. would be better with some flare , but this is floating My boat all the same.

But seriously.
As a project to ressurect a damaged Griff,done empathetically (im thinking a more modern re-interpretation of the Jaguar D Type or Aston DB3S) i'd give it creedance ..

dont let my Chim ownership prejudice your view of this post hehe
