How wide are your fenders?
 
How wide are your fat fenders? I was wondering if I fitted a 11cm wide flared rear fenders and 6cm front from kerscher, what would my 1303 look like!? I have 8x18 and 11x18 porsche turbo 2 rims to go with it.

Here's a couple shots of mine, 4" (10.1 cm) wider front, 5" (12.7 cm) wider rear with 8" and 10" turbo offset wheels.

Nice, very nice, I always love the wide and low look, with big rims! I like those rims you have too.
Thanks for the pictures.

Not a 1303, but 2" front and 3" rear. 2001 Boxster rims and 944 rear trailing arms. Pic and detail here: http://www.germanlooktuning.com/_Qua...l?enlarge=true

Here is the result, 6cm flared front fenders, 7.5 x 18 turbo twist 2, 11cm flared rear fenders, 11 x 18. Fenders from Kerscher, still need to do an aluminium bracket for the signal light at the front bumper, both bumpers are fiberglass and also from Kerscher. Windshield and door glass to go.

Decided to go with the turbo twist 2 instead of the tt1. Now looking for a roof spoiler to go with, I had the little roof spoiler from C Joe, but I thought it was a bit small, Jeffrey's spoiler just above the decklid is nice but want something on the rear end of the roof. Saw a friend's E91 M3 with a rear lip spoiler at the boot end, thought of grafting it to the top of the roof.

Beautiful car!

Silver Bullet. Looks fantastic!!!! You look pretty low on the 18's. Are those LED tail lights you have there?

SilverBullet December 10th 2010 03:44

Thanks guys for your nice comments. Still abit of work to be done. Yes I got the led tail lights from CSP. The only thing about the led tail lights are that at other than looking straight from the rear, you wont be able to see the lights! At angled positions cant see the lights. I hope it wont pose any danger to vehicles coming from the rear angle and they cant see the lights when I brake.

The overal dia of the wheels are smaller and think its becoz the aspect ratio is small, thus making the rims on rubber band , looking small. 225/35/18, 295/30/18. cut 3 holes on the back part of the front fenders better holding? hope so! Will put some mesh to prevent flying stones!

Fantastic car!!! Well done!!!

If looks could kill, I'd be dead. :notworthy:

Very nice indeed!! Do you have a build thread with specs and more pictures?

Silver Bullet do you have alum 944 rear arms with those 11" twists? And what is your offset? I will be running TT Hollow 996 twists on my convert and want to order the fenders from Kerscher...

Thanks

SilverBullet April 22nd 2011 22:22

Yes its with 944 arms but the widest ones, the rear rims are 18x11 et40 and still with spacers, but different sizes as the rear dimensions are not equal! Front is ok.

Hi

I have Aero fenders/wings/mudguards/guards. I think they are 2 inches wider than stock.

On a 1303 with front discs I have 18x8 ET 15 wheels, these have a pretty good fit, I have easily run a 17x8 with ET10.5 with these fenders before.

On the rear I'm running early alloy 944 arms and 18x8 ET 40 wheels, these are close.

I had tt twist 10x18 et65 solid spoke at the rear with the earlier alu arms with 7cm flared widen fenders with MBT 993 c2 brake setup and still had to use spacers. Front was 7.5x18 et 50.
I use the wheel offset cal to determine the spacing with the widen fenders, guess most also use them.

10 cookie cutters
 
Hi, not through yet, but on Super Beetle No1 I will be using 4 wide stock arms and 1 spacer. 2 inch fronts fenders, 6 inch rims. Rears 10 inch custom offset 15 inch cookie cutters.

I must admit the fender in the picture above are with the 3 inch rear due to the need for a 1 inch spacer.

this is the 4 inch rears intended for the 10 inch offset cookie cutters
