<< < (3/3)

i brought some rubber yesterday  and heres the one side i done

but i dont like it i think lol

Saffy:
Here's a series with the re-formed and shaped black plastic guttering:



that was first attempt, better application of heat from gun and clothes iron could give better result, it be better on a defender existing arch too as series not made for it. Bonus is that it's semi rigid not floppy like rubber.  I do not have stickign out tyres on series now so took the silly things off.
If I was you and it bothered me that much I'd save my pennies and get proper extended arches.

Don't look that bad.

It takes a bit of getting used to!! When i done mine i said the same!!!! :doh: But know i don't mind it.

When you done the front did you use the inner arch from the original?? It helps hold the new one without it sagging, and on the rear i used some thin aluminum strips to help stop it sagging. I aslo found that adding some fixings where it looks a bit saggy helps the look aswell. :grin:
