[capritech]

I don't like them with bubbles just de-chrome the sides and drop them 2" on nice rims

nooooooo dont do it

 

Seconded

[escortmad79]

Nooooooo!!!!! Fit trailer arches ala George Polley!

[Pipster007]

If all your arches are beyond reasonable repair, then go for it

 

I quite like an arched Anglia, as it's not a common sight. Certainly not as common as an arched Escort

[105Nick]

Maybe that's cos the arches were made to go on an escort, & everyone remembers the rally cars, plus escorts make them look good, they dont look right on anglias - the anglia has lots of, well angular lines, fitting bubbles goes against it unlike the more curvy escort.

 

If you want a modified just go south london style and spend it all on suspension & performance, then you can scare the kiddies at the lights.

 

Take a look at Russ's Anglia above - its the dogs - nothing too obvious yet still pretty damn mental looking. Now ask would it have that effect with big bubbles on each corner? Me thinks they just look overdone.

[Gibson]

i think it looks pimp daddy

[ZetecVan 2.0]

Noooooo! Don't do it. As 105Nick says, they're not designed for big arches. Trailer arches don't look as bad, but you can't beat a standard looking anglia just ready to piss all over you at the lights.

Look in th readers rides section of the latest cf. (I think)

Theres a 105 from down under and that has flared arches but none ive seen before.

 

It looks the b*llox on minilite copies

[Retromotorsport]

One thing i've always found about " sleepers" is given 2 engines putting out the same power the big rubber car will out perform on acceleration and cornering ... hence why performance cars tend to have bigger tyres than 175/50/13's

 

Just an observation ..

 

Infact .. i think 105E's look crap with front and rear Escort bubbles..

 

 

 

 

 

 

Much better with 4 fronts

[bomber1]

if ur going 2do it u should be running 15s with rubber band tyres!

just make it ur own!

[Guest M.Bird DOHC]

Dont do it, it ruins the original lines and classic shape

[Morley]

Keep your eye on Retro Ford Mags new project Anglia... Gonna be doing something a bit different

[Wessie]

well i just saw some for sale and it got me wondering . . .

im not definatly goin to do it, it was just an idea and i thought id ask you guys

[fezza]

At the end of the day eveyone has different ideas,some would live it and some would hate it but it does'nt matter what anyone thinks if you think it will look the nuts

[martin105e]

trailer archs work best in my opinion.going to put some on this

[105Nick]

That looks like its gonna be a monster, yeah trailer arches work, bubbles dont imho. forest arches

[Retromotorsport]

But sometimes trailer arches just aint gonna work
