What you guys think of the flared wheel arches on this Polo GTI?

Just try and ignore the shocking (cr@p) wheels and lower rear bumper.

I like the flared arches and the front bumper, but wtf have they done to that?

If they could make the arches join the OEM bodykit nicely, I'd love to do it (just to fit wider tyres in). But that's a good idea done horribly. Chrome handles and keyline on the rear lights are horrible too.

I can't really judge it properly because the rest of it is so bad. Pity.

I found another picture. Unfortunately you cant see the rear end.

LOL.

I dont know what theme that car is going for but I think that was intentional. At least you would hope so...

It doesn't look too bad if you cut the back off...

it's hard to ignore the insane rear bumper in the first pics but i do like the flared arches themselves. i agree with tosspot above.

i'd much prefer the polo s2000... that thing has fat guards.

I totally agree, except they aren't molded, they are just tacked on. Which is fine for a rally car, but for a street car you need it to fit in.

i think i'm gonna cry. these people spending all this money making their Polo's look like absolute rubbish.

i have noticed that a lot of these Polo's have just taken the Caracatere front bumber add-on and just modified it.
