How to- 5 door type r conversion - Page 2

GrazReed · 18th February 2012, 19:57

Similar questions coming out here, including mine: can you keep the original arches with the new bumper and skirts, that's what I kinda got from this?

There are few pictures of this dotted around the site.

The motor on this thread is mine, so I'm more than happy to take some photos of anything not pictured and post them up if it helps.

Gary - Good write up mate.

Cheers

you buy type r ones then would need to modify it to lose the gap, the gap never bothered me as u cant see it when the door is closed ask tony(saint2k) he would probs get you some pics of the gap

Ever tried these?
ARCO GRIPZ LITE GLOVES SIZE 9 LARGE **PACK OF 12** | eBay

They are wicked, great for gripping and last forever!!! I highly reccommend.

Lads I went to these people and they sold me some rubber strips that are kind of a double U shape. It slots on the side skirt and arches the gap to the sill of the car.

I used a sharp Stanley knife to trim it to my desired shape.

You could if you wanted get them to measure and make the exact shape of rubber strip you want/need. I'm sure if you did you'd have plenty of people willing to buy a set. Hell I'm already in for a set...!!!

Off the top of my head chaps I couldn't tell you.

I went in and they showed me a whole load of options from previous molds they had and I picked what was best for me.

If I get a chance I will take a pic of it and then if you needed you could use it in correspondence with them to source the same bit.

Like I said though they would make what you want, to your exact specifications.

If someone does opt for this please PM me and I am in.

There must be other companies around the country that do this type of thing.

Very nice work.
Could you give me a buy link for arches and skirts? How much does it cost?

the answer is yes as this guy did, looks lush when done right.you will still need the type r arches so you can cut and shut them which any good bodyshop would do.
