Strosek arches were originally intended to be metal, but when it went into production they went with fibreglass.

 

The strosek kit and arches has been copied numerous times and I believe Stella got his from 300zxstyling.co.uk

 

I' ve check the link, it s not the same kit. This one is really a good copy of the Strosek, the only difference seem to be the "gas filler cap".

 

On 300zxstyling.co.uk , the kit have more hole on the arch, and the kit Stella has installed looks better :cool:

 

I will buy the same, but i have to know where ordered it ? I have contact Strosek for an original one, i hope it s still produced.

come on allan, get some new pics up of it with her new nose on.

Mate out of interest how much did you cut off of the arches? also yousaid you had to weld the arches? why was this? and weldwhat to what? cant quite see from the pictures. Is the 300zxstyling is it better stuff than that from z center? how much did it cost for the arches if you dont mind me asking?

 

sorry for all the questions but looking at getting this done, but looking for a body shop to do it for me, Luke wants to charge me 1500.00 for it so want to get quotes first. As i'm no where near as brave or talented with an angle grinder as you!!

 

 

Cheers

its hard to explain how much i cut off (will look through my pics for better ones) you have to cut away the outer arch then cut into the inner arch and bend it outwards, you then weld the inner arch to the outer arch to give it all strength

 

cutting the arches is the easy bit, fitting thekit is the awkward part, thats why i had to pay peter to fit it with me, ive been told that the arches i got are of better qaulity than zcentre, but i aint seen zcentre's so i dont know

 

the arches sills rear strosek bumper and smoth tailgate skin came to about £850 from 300zx stylin, then it cost me £300 for peter then about £800 for all the blending and painting

 

HTH

i wish i had the cash, ourlass would have me balls off if i spent anymore cash on my car

I will have the same problem , i try to find 18" wheels but with 10 ou 10.5 " wide.

 

In france the rear tyres in 18" must be 285 ( law are really strict with that ) , and unfortunately, i can only find 9.5 " max.

some pics with spacers on, although not my spacer (they are too wide) getting ine made this week
