mikeyb Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 rear arches def odd, but I think may be visually worsened by the camera lens (or photo editing) looking at some of the other pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Jones Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I think someone has use front arch repair sections intended for a square tail and fitted them backwards. I agree that the result is not a great look.Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don cook1 Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Might look better if there were wheels that filled the void...but then that would make it look odd in a different way. Don't think you can beat Triumph's original design, well they did by making the Mk111. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheepy Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Strange location for the brake servo!It's also on e.bay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willows40 Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Does look like mk4/1500 arches have been fitted, doesn't really make sense when mk3 arches are readily availableCheers Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byakk0 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 that is odd. Perhaps they just wanted to match the slope of the front arch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannyb Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 It's a pity because it not a bad looking car. I would change those rear wings if it was mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJC Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Hi I am selling the car ! I purchased the car as it is ,I think the rear arch's were changed to allow bigger wheels ? very quick car I agree it would look better with standard rear arch's very nice looking car 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
