Spatless 90

pos · Jan 16, 2011

Hello,

Has anyone got a photo of a 90 / 110 without spats / wheel arch eyebrows? I'm contemplating doing away with them but I could do with a photo just to make my mind up.

Thanks,
-Tom

Why not keep the arches and change the body !!

Why would you want to do it?
The wheels will stick out as if you had put coiler axles under a Series vehicle and the gap around the wheels will be greater as the spats fill this in. Best place to find photos would be of restorations, usually the spats are some of the last items to be fitted.

Precisely, it makes the thing look much chunkier and a hell of a lot meaner. The series III never had spats and I think it looks great. I'm just wanting to get an idea as to how it will look without having to take them off. They're a bit shot, and if I remove the clips, they won't go back on. Its the same reason people like to see a 90 / 110 without a front bumper

Isn't it an Mot fail if the arches dont cover the same width of the wheels?

The clipthings are a piece o '**** (just remember to collect the pins)...

Oh, and if ye look at the next photie, ye'll see that there's some big gaps between the inner and outer wing...

Thanks,

Cheers Buster. Hmmm, I know about the whole legality issue but I have seen plenty of people driving fenders about without spats. I'm not liking the look of that gap between the arch and the engine bay mind!

no for some reason i have one from front and back but not from the side

No bother, thanks though.

run a grinder arond the arch then you keep the arch intact to the engine bay

Looks cool. Have you still got your 90 or did you do away with it? I thought it had gone but I'm sure you've still got it
