Fender Flares??
Has anyone used fender flares on their C3s?? Does anyone have some pictures they could post up here or send me if so?? My email is JMAcosta1@msn.com. I saw some for sale on a website but didn't know how they looked on an actual car. I saw a C3 on the road and I liked the way the wheels seemed to fit snuggled under the fender wells. Not to much wheel to fender clearance, but it loked sharp. I say, because on mine, there seems to be a lot of clearance all the way around. I have the original ralley's, but the actual tire to fender clearance is what I don't like. Maybe I could just use a larger tire??
Any help is appreciated!! Thank You,
Joe!! :steering: :thumbs:

My flares are 1 inch wider than stock... It still looks close to stock.. but allows 1 inch wider tires without sticking out!!
