Hmmm what would I need? How hard are dimma panels to come by?

Dimmadesign.com think it's about 2.5k a kit though

think they was a guy in essex on facebook trying to sell a replica kit for £220.

Obviously front would be the same then fun starts at the back lol

Just a random idea I had when driving! Also trying to work out the rear. That would me a majorly custom job.

It would be made even harder by having rear doors as the arch extension usually starts just after the drivers door.

Guess it would look pretty cool if done properly, although I think a dimma sedan would be much more win

Could widen the doors but not sure if that would look silly or not. Oz do you still have dum dums sedan?

Convert a sedan to 2 door, and then dimma it, that would be win.

Yeh thats probably the best thing to do. Definitely not looking like a 309 Tongue

A dimma'd 3door'd saloon had been done before I'm sure, not seen anything of it for ages though

Jeez Ben, get with the times! Wink

As said, I can imagine a dimma estate being a bit odd looking due to the rear doors, but a dimma sedan would be epic win in my books! Big Grin

With a dimma estate it would be figuring out where to start pulling it out from and keeping shape and lines right.

Would look long, especially if you made it a single rear window. Would look very too hearsey.

Like that 306 shooting break concept car. Definitely looked odd as a 3dr

Yeh that white one looks amazing.
#25
there must be a way of making an estate wide body. the only way i can think is to go the pellow route and just stick huge wheel arch extensions on it.

have found this as inspiration though but i really dont like the wheel arch covering the rear door.

That sedan looks to be the only non hatchback dimma about. Though im not keen on the exhaust its the only time i think ill ever say M3 mirrors look good on a car.
Just wonder what drove the owner to paint it yellow and add that roof spoiler :\
That is an impreza spoiler right? quite tempted by one for my sedan now

Maybe turning an estate into a 3 door, using the sides and rear windows of a 3 door car and blanking the estate rear windows to make a dimma like van might work? Can definitely see it may end up looking like a hearse if there was one large window
