I don't know why but I got all inspired today to do some googling for wide arched va-hee-cles. I think it might be because they remind me of being a kid and loving DTM cars and all that, but if they're done right, they are proper win for me. For example...     And finally, this (modern I know but I'm thinking of getting an EP3 and I came across this while reading up on them....)  Anyone car to share some more? |

Any excuse to post a pic of my Olympic. This one shows the difference between the new arches on the passenger side, against the original on the driver side. Wide enough?  |

For sure - although at the moment it kinda reminds me of an ex of mine... she was kinda lop-sided as well  |
