ap racing 4 pots, 302mm discs


straight fit or how much work is involved?


Straight fit as long as you have 16 inch wheels. They will also fit under compomotive 15's if you are prepared to grind them down a bit and really need alloy bells as the offset is too high other wise.

I think the arches look brilliant, most modern cars have box arxhes, some are even part of the pressing so are not seperate but made to look so. You have managed to take an old Mark 3 metro, stick some arches from a MK2 on it and make it look, in my opinion, more modern than the mk 4 and much more aggressive. Best looking Metro on 16's bar none (although there have only been a few others and maybe only one other at the moment).

thanks for your backing mate i appreciate their may be certain things on the car that people arent keen of but when you modify a car there is certain areas where you are limited on what you could do (arches) there was no other way of covering the wheels but i like them and i really think the arches and wheels really set the car off.what i probably would have done if i hadnt have painted the car before i decided to fit the arches and wheels is actually mould the front and rear arches in to the wings so that you couldnt tell but i like them like this as they are removable along with the kit which makes ease of repairs to bodywork if needed.
anyway enough of this heres a picture of part of my new centre consul i made before it goes for trimming.

Location: Birmingham		Most new "leather" seats only have a couple of mm's of leather covering them, they are all backed now to save on costs i suppose, unless its a high end car then it should be propper leather

If its real leather you will have suede on the underside, not a white mesh like most (my ZR's have this) And apparently most are covered by a very thin layer of plasic so its pointless "feeding" the leather in most cases

Location: Midlands		The seat faces will vary between different qualities of leather and i think you will find that most modern cars are a composite synthetic forms of leather now, so simply looking at the rear of the leather wont give way at to whether or not it is faux.
