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

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.

Pettsy

haha ok I'll probs go with some 14s then for now and see what the insurance people have to say

Cheers

theres some rear arches on ebay at the moment. as well as some G40 bumpers.

Im a 93 genesis owner too

keep us updated on the mods as all ive done are my wheels...

Welcome

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 ..

there are 2 sets of g40/gt arches on ebay at the mo there were 3 but one went for £45
