Looks alright but a slightly larger photo and maybe one that shows the side a bit more would help.  :D

yes they do come in halves in actual fact the 3 door set contains 10 pieces.They are flexible and strong.

They have been designed so that they taper back into the vehicle at the bottom to avoid rut damage.

All parts can be purchaced seperatley.

this will answer most questions

Oh god, don't let the missus see these - she'll want em for her V8 Disco!

They do look very good though, kind of like Bushwackers, but better shaped. Very  8) - nice one.

Yep, Me likes!  :D

Especially the way you've allowed the cut-outs for when the wheels articulate.  :wink:

BTW, are Paddocks selling you standard flares now?
Only I see they have some advertised on their site.

They are very, very nice  :(biglove):

You will really need 33 x 12.5's to fill those bad boy arches out!

Competition (http://www.paddockspares.com/scp/OFF_ROAD/Extended_Arches.html) then. Only yours are cheaper and look better quality.  :wink:
Plus we know the work you've put it to the development of these.

All the best with it.  :D

I would like to cut that much out of my arches but dont need or want the extra width. Would it be possible to do a narrower set? I think you would sell a lot more of those.
  Great idea of doing them in sections though
Title: Worth the wait
Post by: suggs on February 10, 2007, 13:18:18
yeah i agree, maybe if they also came in a smaller size. i have a feeling they would look like wings on mine. but i like the styling of them good idea coming in sections, just replace the bit you break..

I really like the look and the idea of piece's. I also think some slightly smaller ones would be good. Have you any pics of them fitted to a 5 door? Do you know anyone who could fit them for me? Mine's a 300Tdi 5 door and I'm crap at bodywork and haven't finished my garage so have nowhere to do it.

better than i though they would look, but in not 100% to be honest. think the tyres in the pic are probley 33/12.5 which are wider than mine.

either way i need to change mine as there pretty beat up, so will order the new or old style soon.
