i think it's going to be the innovation/paddock ones.
thanks for that lads.
just another small question how much to cut out? 1" or 1.5" or is it going to be closer to 2".

IIRC I took out nearer 3 inches when I did mine. There should be full instructions when you get the kit.
You'll have fun with a 5 door as you need to cut into the main structure of the rear doors. :wink:

I know what you mean they are easy to repair and the bloke I got them from said he would supply replacements on an individual basis, which I thought was quite resonable of him. The problem myself and discocwk have found with them is when your in deep ruts if you hit them into a bank they don't give at all hence the dented wings on both our motors, still the odd dent gives them a bit of individual styling. :roll:
To be honest when I have a spare couple of quid I'll go for different ones

Fibreglass or plastic .....you will find that wing or bodywork damage will be just as severe with plastic (and in our experiments more so).drive over some flexible plastic flares in a heavy vehicle and some of the force is absorbed through the tyre,never the less plastic is deformable and will stand up very well.
tip a discovery with plastic flares on its side and drive over it with the same vehicle.......
the flares will look the same and the bodywork will be a mess.
Whatever you bolt onto the bodywork of your vehicle will in effect become a part of your bodywork.
hope this helps

ps steve
on its way :wink:
This is why our new designs are in a number of sections or pieces
