Dealing with screw holes in body work from extended flares.

The wolfs are just standard offset for a wolf at about +20. In the end I couldn't resist and put the standard flares back on. What a **** of a job fitting those little plug things ( didn't help that neither of the rear corners are particularly straight.)https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e0b2f04a39.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...989591f02a.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...0af932ed69.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...88a20c8610.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...f0172f5705.jpg

Can see the screw holes now...

Did you find plugs? I can't see them in the pics. If you did... where did you source them from?

Yeah I just bought a few bags of them on ebay. They were about $12 worth covered the 4 wheels.

Got a link, description, anything? I couldn't find anything last time I looked. Bloke look maybe?

That looks so much better. God I hate aftermarket flares.

I'm starting to feel the same way it's impossible to make them look right.

When I bought my early 2A 88 a previous owner had fitted huge flares to it and upon removal of them I was faced with the same issue as you, fenders that had more holes than the "proverbial."I decided to plug them with dome headed 5 mm allen bolts. I painted the bolts a similar colour to the vehicle and you would hardly know they are there.I also used some to attach the galvanised tub capping on another Landy, as I want to be able to remove the capping when I am ready to give the vehicle a coat of paint.Cheers, Mick.

Thanks for that link. But I thought you'd found the hole covering plugs, not trim clips. I must keep looking... How hard can it be?

My 2c is it looks a lot better now :)
