Here's a video of a Coupe with flared arches and wide wheels. What do you think? The arches look like they were welded on by... I dunno ... someone who has never been taught to weld!

I've seen worse, but the wheels are really silly.
I bet he doesn't use that set in a Lithuanian winter.

Don't think they have been welded on... looks like rivets to me

The arches look like those extensions you get on 4x4 or certain vans
Not too keen on the Colour either, was that a standard colour im certain it wasnt?

Looks like a 16v from the dash.
Is that a widget or something else?
I dont mind the colour. Isn't that the new white?

With any luck, he'll be coming to Turin.
Then we can disassemble it!
That is a ridiculous car.

We're going to see lots of Coupes like this in Turin.
This sort of thing is very popular in Europe, I've seen many courtesy of FB.

Oh I see, it's the rivets making the arches look crinkley. A smooth weld would have looked better.

I think that looks really well planted (spot the liberal know-all use of a technical term there
) and the new shape flows nicely imho. Also the colour scheme of brown and gold is fantastic.
My jury's out over the rivet dimples atm...

Brown in colour
Stretched tyres
Deep dish alloys
Little bit of poke
I'll give it 26 'scene' points.
The quality of the work looks really good. I'd imagine if a Coupé had gone rallying back in the day something along those arches would have been used.

Looks like the fronts might be in 3 sections - at around 1'38"?

Maybe the front arches are attached to the bonnet, and locked onto the wing/bumper. Help keep it shut!
Main beam on without sidelights?
It's looks pretty smart wether it's your taste or not. Better than mine looks body and paint wise.

Interesting!
Bold colour choice but the arches are not my cup of tea.
Certainly different if that's what they where after...

Looks good from a distance but a shame the arches weren't fitted properly when the body and paint appear to have been done well. The wheels would be good but I hate stretched tyres like that, they look dangerous on too many levels.
