Thread: Replacement Flares???

Keep in mind that the flares will aslo need cutting to match the 'camel cut', there is a set of flares that came on later D1's that stop at the creas in the doors (where the plastic trim goes) so they don't go to the bottom of the guards,m they mihgt be better for your application.

Cheapest parts 99% of the time come from England...

What's the best websites to use or just use eBay?

Buying landrover bits is all new to me. I can help anyone that wants dirt bike bits.lol

no no no no, if you can afford it, get the proper moulded flares, each to their own but that dodgy flare bought by the metre belongs on Hilux's and Cruisers....not a Rover

Moulded flares sure look better ,rubber ones are more practical if you plan to wheel your truck .The fibreglass ones crack easy and like in his case they hard to replace if you want just one . Not to mention dollars . Like you said each to their own and i own a bushpig

For cutting you might want to try a grinder with a 1 or 1.25mm (thin) metal cutting wheel, leaves a nice edge. The thin blades do not heat up the paint like the thick ones do. Mark the line you want to cut with masking tape - I like to cut along the edge of the masking tape as it provides a nice clear line. Also maybe consider making a new bracket (some call them Z brackets) to push the back of the guard out too, I needed to do that even with a camel cut as my wheels have a wider offset than stock which yours might have too.
