[urq] great big fenders

[Michael Hopton]

The car has been on a diet and now wears Coupe GT fenders. While the
wide flares (or picnic tables as I called them) were interesting, a 285/40
front tyre is not very practical. No tyre manufacturer was making a
285/40 tyre on a 15" rim so I had to choose between buying a new set
of bigger wheels or do something a bit different.....
 
Neil Peart was the original owner and when he had the car it was stock. 
The second owner who ran Don Valley Audi/VW had the modifications done.
 
regards, Mike

	It's one of Mike Hopton's stable of quattros - I think that this now wears
	normal coupe wings but although I've been looking through my old emails I
	can't find anything that confirms this.
