	First attempt were OK however it would of required more filler than I would of liked , so the grinder come out and I started from scratch again and glad I did so as happy with the result looking good I think just got the other side to do, Spent a bit of time making underwing protectors so I don't need to cringe driving through puddles.cloud.tapatalk.com/s/582f5a90f14d3/20161023_170237.jpg? cloud.tapatalk.com/s/582f5aa02129c/20161023_170315.jpg? cloud.tapatalk.com/s/582f5ac269355/20161012_184442.jpg? cloud.tapatalk.com/s/582f5ad2a0b17/20161012_183021.jpg? cloud.tapatalk.com/s/582f5acd004c4/20161012_182954.jpg? cloud.tapatalk.com/s/582f5ae4cc438/20161012_182954.jpg? cloud.tapatalk.com/s/582f5aee66031/20161005_160242.jpg? cloud.tapatalk.com/s/582f5afd817fb/20161005_160300.jpg? cloud.tapatalk.com/s/582f5b19de884/20161102_153251.jpg?

	There's some good work going on there. Better if the pics were in line. Are those upside down ones for our Aussie friends?

	Those are bang on! I'd love to do it to my Avenger, but the arches are such an odd shape that it would look daft.

It's not an easy one to do , iv seen some really daft arch extensions all in the name of nice wheels you could try and mock up differant ways with card board to get an idea of what it may look like the go from there .

	Very nice work, thanks for the how-to pics! The only thing not showing is how you have avoided creating mud traps underneath (to avoid problems in the future)

	To smooth off the underside I used fiberglassing to protect the area as well iv So hoping it don't pop off it should do a hood job one hopes .
