Great work. I just did this to my A3 based upon your original posts on AudiSport.. Your build has been the inspiration for mine. Love it! The arches add a tough dimension to this little car.
Lovely nick! Its not long now till we see this beauty back out on track! Great video
Nice job buddy. Great seeing the progress,A suggestion to treat edges of arches cutt with paint etc as won't take long for rust to set in 👍
hello brother really great work.. can you link me those arches so i can order them too?
спасибо за видео🤝👍
очень подробно все показал, пошел делать свои задании арки
Really enjoyed that bud, I am going to fit these arches and roll/cut the inside. Only issue is my arches and wing join at the lip so it's going to be a bit more work. As for the splitter, it will probably be fine if you don't mind loads of air going under the car and possibly taking off 180 vertical flip style! But then also a cheeky little cosmetic slide into the tyres will get viewssssssss, subs and shares so...😂😂😂
Looking good buddy. I have no idea if the splitter should be enlarged or not; perhaps you need an episode on how they work and test the effect of different size??? The dam does make it look chunky and a larger splitter might improve aesthetics if having minimal aero effect. Over to you...
What are your wheel specs on the car I like the aggressive wheels
Hi mate awesome vid! I’m looking to fit arches myself! Where did you get the M5 screws from can’t find any decent1s local! Thanks
How subframe did you use to mount the bucket seats please? I’m struggling to find out how I can mount some lol
2am actually lol😂😂
Good job mate but now the qucik release bumper isnt as quick release 😎
Hi Nick , have you played about with canards at all ?
I love the splitter on the front and the fender flares but are they universal fender flares do you purchase those types cuz I have a Cabrio a golf Mark 4 and I want to put with lighter tires
Where did you buy those arches? i am going to have to do something similar soon. there are way to many places that sell them just unsure of quality.
Is there a way to do it without cutting on your GTI or your mark 4 got to be a video out there
Just an idea but you could fab a small splitter extension from 2-3mm thick ally, if you slotted the holes in it then where you attach it to the underneath of the old splitter it could be adjustable to give you varing degrees of downforce, just adjust it as and when you've done a lap or 2??
@@TeamPrawnRacing Yeah it could end up being a worm decapitation device but if you get the desired result you could maybe have a play with carbon sheet and mould one? Then it could just be added to the original as an extension? Possibly mould some gurnies into it?
Anyway just some ideas for you, love the car and the channel and if i pull my finger out may catch you at a track somewhere, goodluck 👍
Looks really good mate 😎😎😎😎i didn't get a bager5 tshirt 😪
We're just not bigtime enough Spence. When we overthrow these YooToobers channels and make them our own we'll get all the freebies though... 😂
Thanks for the video... Will be fitting arches to my car next week so it comes in handy 😅
Looking at your front brake rotors... Aren't they switched left and right?! Judging by how the vent holes on them curve... 🤔
Just went and had a look back through, the front rotors are definitely on the correct side as per the AP diagrams for how a curved vane rotor should be.
@@TeamPrawnRacing oh, good... Sorry, I was just being curious 😊👍🏻
there are bigger ones that'll cover whole fender arch
Wait a second... the holes behind the number plate disappeared 🧐
What size wheels are those? How are they standing out so far, do you have spacers in? Love your vids sir... watched this and subscribed immediately...legend. please share a vid about your bumper splitter
Found the splitter vid
Hi mate, was just about to link you the splitter vid! Wheels are 18x10 with a 265 tyre, , no spacers. They sit out that far because they're just they wide 😁 glad to have you here! Take a look back through the older vids as there was a walk around video listing a whole car spec too 🙂
Do you have to cut the original arches to use the extensions?
Yes, lots of cutting at the front. Cutting and lots of welding on the rear. it's also not reversible once you've done it.
Alright nick, long time, glad to see its up and running again, hope baby prawn is doing good. you should have put some nail polish on the holes before the rivnut to protect it from rusting. what happened to those mirrors i sent you btw, i cant remember, anyways, keep it up, your making me want to get the old a3 back upto standard, its been neglected for a few years.
Hi bud just wandering if you were near me in Cheltenham and would do my arches like urs on my mk1 seat leon 1.8t? If so how much would you charge? I got 9.5j 3sdm 0.06 with 20mm spacers to clear coilovers but tyres stick out too much so need this arch setup, would look so cool like ur audi. Let me know man
This isn't something we do I'm afraid, as much as we'd love to have time and help. That said, the Badger5 boys are only round the corner from you so perhaps give them a call and see if it's something they can help with.
@@TeamPrawnRacing can i ask where you got the arches from
@@Gaming_Guru24 eBay specials!
@@TeamPrawnRacing ah ok they look decent! Are they just universal ones? Do u have an item number?
@@TeamPrawnRacing was it these? Ebay item number 353517885987
Great vid mate. I loves a good nut rivet lol 👍.
Where are about your based?
TeamPrawnRacing 👍
Forget a new splitter, just get that front end on the deck
TeamPrawnRacing the splitter needs to scrape under braking...
You are clearly very proficient with the angle grinder, but not wearing cutting gloves scares the hell out of me... I guess I read too many nuts magazines in the 2000s
Horrível essa audi
Thanks for your input 😁
