First ones are a picture of Iceland Offroad flares, and a shit picture too, just a cheap copy. XJ ones wont fit easily, wonder if these will better

Either way I bet they are shit quality.

Anyway on yours I'd cut the return lip back a bit & use an arch roller, you only need another 1/2 inch of clearance.  PUT DOWN AND WALK AWAY FROM THE ANGLE GRINDER :rotflmao:

I've the crap Polish ones fitted to mine.

They are OK, the surface finish needs sorting and then spraying - but what do you expect for the price.

They have taken some big hits and survived (I filled them with expanding foam prior to fitting, and also used it to bond it to the panels as well as bolts) - got to say when I took out the Corsa it did crack it a bit at the bottom edge of one - but not bad considering, and not done anything to fix it as its not too bad

leave em till ya get pulled then do somethin. never been pulled for mine or mandas. the plod never do anythin anymore anyway. most of em wouldnt even know what motor it was let alone the law reguarding wheel coverage. if you drive right and give em no reason then you wont get a pull.

The tyres on my jeep stick out and I have never been bothered on the road or by MOT inspector. I just get tired of all the muck up the side of the jeep so I want even bigger ones.
