Hi

Post by Olly »

Hi everyone :)
I recently purchest a 93 Genesis, 1L which I'm learning to drive in.
I'm currently doing a little rust repair and giving it a general tidy up ect. get it looking presentable.
Bought it for £150 so can't really go wrong there :)

Got some plans for basic mods as soon as I've got the cash...new wheels, lower it some, clear side repeaters, colour coded bumpers and a new back-box probably. Not going to go over the top. Going for the less is more approach (Y) haha.

Anyway I was wondering if/where you can get GT/G40 style wheel-arch extensions?

And while I'm here will alloy wheels increase the price of your insurance no matter what?

Cheers :)

Generally any aftermarket modifications will increase the insurance. you may be able to get away with some standard vw fit 13/14" bbs's by saying they are standard vw fit ones :wink:

I've just sold my only spare set of sills and arches, its just a case of being in the right place at the right time for second hand ones.You can probably still order new ones from vw parts counter.

You can get them from a VW Dealer ..

Expensive though ..

Best to ring around a few scrappys .. might find it hard to find some with no damage though ..
