Clinched Widebody
Looking around at some things and noticed Clinched had put up a widebody. Has anyone done it? I searched but didn't pull up any threads besides their universal flares. I figured someone had to have done it since they produced it. And I'm sure it's not for everyone but I love it

There's a few that I've seen on IG from the states, not sure if they're 1Addicts members. I like the kit personally, but I first-handedly know the troubles of widening this car.. especially in the front. Nonetheless, looks good if you've got the wheels and suspension figured out - but way overpriced.

That's why you don't find cars with this kit or even this width. What you will find is a ton of 1M clones who are quick to judge the guys that put ///M badges on their cars but they're doing the same thing.

There's a limit to how much tire makes sense. Also a limit to front rear balance. This is a very wide kit. Not sure if it's possible to put wheels on the car with this kit that wouldn't be hugely staggered and simply introduce even more understeer.
I do really like the kit though. There's a guy that started one on here on a black 135. Never posted finished pics though. He had the widest possible apex wheels and they still weren't enough. Not sure where you're going with the M badge comment Jorgensen.

Agreed. Seeing it on a real car, I'm a big fan of the kit. |

Wouldn't say that I agree. Making a car look like something and calling it that thing are different in my eyes. I've made my Jetta look like a Jetta R (VW never made one but they made the Golf R) but I'd never think to put some kind of Jetta R badging on. Just my opinion on that.

Another issue is how to manufacture wheel well covers as even the 1m will come up short. Overall, it's a great looking kit and done right gives the e82 chassis an exotic look |

I'm assuming he's not running fender lines, I'm not right now. So that's not as much of a concern for me. Just nice to see something different. I love the 1er but people seem a lot more tame with it than the 3/4 series guys. |

Looks good molded. Wish he would have stuck with the stock front bumper though. The kit is very well designed.
