Corsa wheel arches - where can I get them

[X19]

Anyone know of some vendor selling these?

 

[Dr.Jeff]

I don't recall ever seeing those. Were they a factory item as part of the "Corsa" edition or only a aftermarket accessory?

 

[Ulix]

I have never seen them for sale.
This could be a universal kit that was adapted to the X.

 

[X19]

Ok thank you

 

[Ulix]

Where did you get this picture? Are there any more?
I have never seen it. I assume it shows a replica of the Corsa?

 

[BrettM]

I found these on Facebook...

 

[Ulix]

Very cool.
Did have any explanation whether this is a replica and where the parts came from?

This was the original Corsa "press car" seen in factory photos and advertisements. A complete restoration was preformed and it was unveiled at the Club X1/9 Italy show for the 50th anniversary over the weekend.

From what I see, the flares don't allow wider wheels. Meaningless rust collectors but they look ok.

 

[Dr.Jeff]

Not the same obviously, but I bought a set of universal fender flares that are very similar to those for very little money. Kind of a "JDM" thing I guess. They are molded plastic and have lots of flex so you can mold them to fit the car's contours. I was thinking of using them on a really rusty X body shell that I might turn into a "track day" toy. The car is not nice enough to restore but solid enough to abuse. So these would simply replace the rusty fender lips that I'd cut off the car.

Wow, I didn‘t know the original car had survived! How cool.
And there was only this one example of the Corsa, correct?

Getting a scan of those would be epic. Print and play.

Ugh, I don't want them enough to pay $13k for them. I could probably get a custom set made for half that...
