Wheel arch flares
Lyndsey731:
Paddocks do the flexible ones, don't get the fibre glass ones as I did they break very easily but the main problem is as they don't give when you hit them they dent the wings.

chris, what i was trying to say is that devon 4x4 are not the cheapest around.(but they do very good products)
and
gav, a friend has the fibre glass ones and they're _______.(make up own word) they're split and cracked.
what i'm after is tidy upper after cutting the arches (5 door) as i've just got a set of 255/85/16 so they won't be sticking out the arches

Check out MPS 4x4 store I tried to put a link up but no joy, sorry. look under disco and then wheel arches, funnily enough, might be the sort of thing your looking for.

If you look down THIS PAGE on Rocca's site then there are standard flares, not the compatition one's I think you've been looking at. :wink:
The ones from Devon cost more because they're imported from Oz and are made by Rangie Spares. These were the first wheel arch flare that were produced for the Range Rover and Disco and are the ones that all the rest have been copied from.
Some people don't like the fibreglass ones but I've had a set on the Disco for about 5 years and only ever broken one. That was glassed back together, filled and sprayed. Now you wouldn't know it was ever broken. :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
