I've always wondered what W203's would look like with fenders flares and thought they might not look great, but gaaaaah deeeeyuum and holy wide! Phi, you have definitely changed that thought of mine! Game changer! Can't wait to see the finished product.

Looks insane ! I'm really excited how this is going to turn out... will be awesome without a doubt.

I'm wondering, what are you going to do with the "impact strips" ?

I'd have to fall into the "I liked the old ones better" camp, but then I said that about the red ones too.

Good to see you still modding your car; at least there's a small pool of us continuing to mix things up.

Nice. Looks like some sort universal flares to me. I never realized how much the body of the rear quarter panel moves in/out. Will def be interested in seeing how you make that all work together! I can imagine the front right now. Pretty sure this whole thing is gonna be awesome.

How wide are the front and rear fenders going to be?

PS - are your wheel lips larger than your the barrel??
