I hate having to ask this, but i cant photoshop, have no computer and no real photos i can draw on. I am thinking of painting the wheel arches black, so the blue becomes a panel. I'm thinking follow the front arch step line around the arch and do the same on the rear. I'm normally good at visualizing this kind of thing but this is a small change so I'm just not sure. Thanks.

Then I got carried away... Thanks, as i suspected, it does tend to make the arch gap look huge! Might look better in real life. Loving it on the slots, i have a set of appliance wire mags to go on now ive redrilled to 5x4.75" and may be getting a set of turbo vecs too. If i can find some slots in the right size ill buy them too š

VWCan't help feeling like you meant something a bit more like this? As far as the arch height, yes. Was still going to leave the blue as a band all the way round though and hadnt considered the boarder. I need to tidy the arches up and maybe extend them so they need repainting. Was just toying with changing it up a bit at the same time.

Looking at it again, that does look good. Would mean i could tidy all the body up a bit just using one colour of paint too. Thanks.

Just noticed the changes to the pop top too! Talk about adding work! Looks great though.

Cant really mod the pop top though but a little roof mounted wind deflector could look good of designed right.

VW it's been lowered a couple of inches too -hey - have you seen this epic CF build series over on Mighty-Car-Mods' spin-off channel 'The Skid Factory' Will probably give you some unclean thoughts

VWCan't help feeling like you meant something a bit more like this? This should happen. I like the wheel choice but then I love deep dish minilites, but there are other awesome wheels out there. Its the paint treatment, looks like it should be like that. The dark wheels help disguise the arch gap issue with painting the arch black. De-bumpered might suit it too, it depends how far you want to go, it looks smart as it is.

VW for a fairing you could maybe adapt a fibreglass T25 Westfalia front rack roof fairing

There are some bedford conversions i could use a bit of roof from too.
The watanabes, they make some specifically for dodge van racing too, i emailed about them a few years back. They were EXPENSIVE!
