i copied avnger tiger quarter bumpers with a bent old bad chrome spare i had then had them powder coated satin black ,it just gives that more modern apperance and i aint got to worry about them going rusty now.
wheels are from a pugeot 306 with 195/50/15,s on sprayed satin black for that nascar look

I am going for little quarter bumpers on mine also. I love that NASCAR look also. The wheels I have on my Avenger were custom made by Diamond Racing Wheels in America. They are the same as NASCAR wheels, just a bit narrower (Mine are 15x7 and 15x8 and a NASCAR is 15x9.5 I think)

yeah its a good look ive seen your wheels and body work on your thread its gonna look mean as hell a few years back i was gonna do a similar thing to one of mine with steel arch,s i was gonna use wheel arch,s cut from mk1 vw golf front wings . the estate has grp wings and lift off bonnet , my wheels are only 6.5 inchs wide a big brake upgrade is on the cards , i like your bmw / volvo conversion i had a peugeot disc ford caliper idea planned but i might change track now as i have some volvo calipers in my shed .il post some pictures of under the hood soon but be warned its functional and not pretty
cheers rich

Thanks.

The Volvo/BMW conversion is a pretty easy conversion to do and it goes really well. I have volvo calipers in my race car for years and they went sweet. they fit under 13" rims also.
