[chuggaman]

We have just about finished making our new defender flares and are looking for someone localish who would like a set for their vehicle for the purpose of a photoshoot at a greatly reduced price.

pm me if you are interested

I have seen a set like that before? How hard are they? As some of the other brands do not give and just brake/split.

Also PM me a price?

you drive a tarts chariout so pipe down

[electricbluebadger]

are they wider than standard??, im having a few probs covering my rubber n am looking at the moment, site shows the mill services bits i fitted and am about to fit my crystal lamps and nas lights from another well known landy bits supplier, wider arches are then on the list ...pre MOT :)...

would they cover these any better???



about 1.5" proud of the arch at the moment....

would they fit in conjunction with my mill services sliders??? (early pre spray pic)



would they require much arch trimming/adjusting the chequer etc thats already fitted???



look very smart, and may be just what i need..

Cheers Steve

resting on a tree wont break them!

They did not break with 18 stone jumping up and down on them. We also dropped a kerbstone on them from 5 feet high during our tests.

We could not break them!!

However, i suspect that when they are screwed to a wing, they become slightly stiffer, and therefore more likely to break..... like the (narrower)one on my Disco did....

You are quite correct.they are stiffer when added to the wing.

Not in hdpe plastic though..

Have you bought from us?

Then please return it for a replacement.

We will be happy to oblige.

[Disco-Ron]

Will do mike, could you pm me the address, i can't find it on your site anywhere.....

Thanks.

[chuggaman]

i bet the air vents wont fit with chequer plate fitted too will they?

if you tell us the thickness then we can adapt it to fit.

but it will not fit with a smooth finish against 5 bar checquer plate.
