batwing/clamshell mudgaurds for sale
 
3 Attachment(s)
As in the title I have a pair of batwing/clamshell wheel arches for sale and thought I'd offer them up on here first. they're green at the moment with the worst paintjob ever but anybody interested will probably want to paint them anyway to suit. 1700mm long by 440mm wide. I haven't got a clue what they're worth so open to sensible offers. Collection would be best because of the size but I'm sure I could send them out via overnight courier if required, (cost on application) I'm in Telford, Shropshire. Here's a couple of photos. you can phone me on 01952 587702 during normal working hours.

I doubt they will be wide enough as the only cars that used those were skinny numbers like Caterham, westy oh and that turd on wheels the robin hood

These were off a Locust which is such a POC that it makes the Robin Hood look like a real sports car. just thought I'd offer them on here before chucking them on evilbay:D .

A real big hint hint here whay not see if you can do a deal with Andy at Saturn, I'm sure he could modify them so they fit the Roadster and it's then yet another option for folk to look at....eeee full of daft ideas me man:rolleyes:

The main reason I'm offering them up for sale is I think they're fugly things.;)

Eeew - nasty reaction in the paint there.

I sold a pair of these on ebay a few months ago, I got 25 squids for them, just to give you an idea what to expect.

You could always offer them for sale over on locostbuilders, and have a sneaky look at their for sale board too. :D :rolleyes: :D

Cheers Sam, yes the paint finish is awful, i reckon it was thrown on with a yard brush in a thunderstorm and then there was a reaction with whatever was already on it. thanks for the heads up on what to expect value wise. I'd probably get more for them if I sanded the crap off and basrcoated them but it'd take way too much time to do all that. I've never been on the locost builder site, might give it a quick look. just thought I'd offer them up on here first before I chuck 'em on ebay.
