    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.)

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

    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
