Nick Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 Dude - Do the rear arches on the original TRD have to be bonded or are they replacements? Sure I've asked this before but b*ggered if I can remember... I'll be in touch soon, thinking about a change but if not then I'll need a repeat of the last job and probably a new front bumper, been through the wars a bit...

Not sure what you mean there nick , the original TRD cars are basically a factory fitted kit the rear arches are not steel . Dude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 You have to budget big bucks for the finished job - its been a little while since we imported the last one, but your looking at £3900 for the kit, at least £2.5k+ for the fitting and respray (I am sure dude will let you know what he charges), and then £2000 or so for "proper" wheels and tyres to fill the arches.

Nick Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 Not sure what you mean there nick , the original TRD cars are basically a factory fitted kit the rear arches are not steel . Dude I can vaguely remember talking to Tdi a few years ago when I went down to have a look at a car they had in with the TRD kit. I'm sure they said they supplied the kit which consisted of replacement panels, not ones which are bonded to the car. It was sent to a bodyshop to be fitted and then came back for the engine work.
