wider wheel arches

[uninformed]

hey all,

any one know of wider wheel arches for front of defender?

i know Devon 4x4 in the UK do them, but only sell a set of four and at 187 pounds a set + shipping im looking for an alternative.

im looking for 50mm wider than standard

cheers, Serg

Hi Serg,

Paddock motors do them aswell: (4 tho)

Defender Extended Arches - 2 inch wider than standard - set of 4 (http://www.paddockspares.com/pp/OFF_ROAD/Extended_Arches/Defender_Extended_Arches_-_2_inch_wider_than_standard_-_set_of_4.html)

Pretty sure innovation 4x4 did aswell but they may have gone bust

Would assume John Craddocks would also do them

Personally I would get them from D44 - if you email them they may split the set. Worth a try and a very good company to deal with.

thanks Pete,

i have already emailed Devon4x4, they cant split a set. My guess is they just get them made or buy from a supplier and there are more 90/110 that require 4 than cabchassis over there.

i will check the others out

hey mate, i know it's not much better, but i'm trying to organise a bulk order from MM 4X4 in the uk to split the shipping cost that might save you a couple of dollars??
Defender - Range Rover - Discovery - 2 50mm Unbrakeable Wheel Arch Extensions (http://www.mm-4x4.com/defender----range-rover---discovery----2--50mm-unbrakeable-wheel-arch-extensions-2661-p.asp)

you anywhere near newcastle?

they look like the Paddocks. Im on the Gold Coast, let me know how much you can get them here for in Aussie dollars.

cheers, Serg

I've seen a few around with 50-70mm of conveyor belting used to 'remotely mount' the factory item, that is a long strip of rubber belt, 50-70mm wide screwed on the inner edge to the wing/guard and the outer edge to the original arch - I'm pretty sure tombraider was one who did this?? maybe blknight can post a photo or two as his Dad now owns Tombie's former wheels :)

Got a thread going about it, but the flares themselves are $225 and shipping for one set was $170, that would be approx $400 but already got 1 other person interested, if you are as well, i recon they would be about $300, thats just a guess for 3 sets... i hope to get a few more interested parties.

let me know:)

Thanks

I'd be keen on a set, but not sure how much cheaper postage would work out if relayed to WA tho.

No one have a cross the country trip planed any time soon?

i shall have a look about postage in oz for you... it's like $170 in shipping....
might be worth it?
