flexible wheel arches

(1/3) > >>

diff-breaker:
After taking some chunks out of my grizzly claws and bending rear 1/4 panel with them at LR show at Billing i think I need to do some cosmetics!
I have a 5 door 98 series 1 disco and thinking about fittign the flexible wheel arches that enable soem of the bodywork to be chopped away to give the tyres more room.
Will these work in respect to the passenger doors?
Do you need to do anything fancy with the cut panels ie bend them under to essentially make a new arch ? Local garage seem to think so but labour seems to be the key as takes the time so any DIY job is more appealling.
Thinking about 2" lift as well ?

i have done this to my 3 door,mornings work,but i think with the 5 door it is more complex as you have to cut into the rear door. :wink:

Try Roccia Plastics, theres a link on my site along with how I fitted mine on the 90. Their Disco ones will be excellent if anything like my 90 arches, the on site video even shows em driving over an arch with no damage, mine have been squashed off trees and battered on rocks with no damage to date , top quality...

Pics here....

Loads more clearance as well  and only a morning to trim and fit...

Cheers Steve
