IanS16 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I **think** the rear arches stick out further than the folded mirrors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotrain69 Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 I **think** the rear arches stick out further than the folded mirrors. so which number should i be looking for in CS's post above then to see if i can fit it in the garage?

BulletMagnet Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Hope this helps, but as IanS16 already pointed out, the rear arches stick out further than the mirrors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtbiscuit Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 my garage door is one of the smaller ones, i fold the mirrors in pull in straight, once the mirrors are through i edge slightly to the leftso that when fully in i have maximum door opening space. would also recommend putting carpet on the wall where the door touces to protect the paint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanS16 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 thanks guys, that's a really good shot! so does anyone know then the measurement of the widest part of the car? Going on CS' post of 1.8m width I'd say you need a minimum of a 2.5m garage as you will need to get those long doors open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The inside of the garage should be wider than the entrance, so once in he should have more room either side and then he can do rtbiscuit’s manoeuvre above...

BulletMagnet Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 the carpet idea is brill tbh. May need to add another bit of carpet by the door about head height, so you can take out your frustrations of the day on it, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotrain69 Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 well i'm not too worried about opening the door inside. just need to know whether the car will actually go in haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
