The fibre glass flares are very brittle and if you do any off roading against trees, branches etc I think they would crack quite easliy.
Just tighening the screws makes you sweat with the thought of doing them up too much!

The flexible arches in the UK are the same price as the fibre glass ones.

Do you any more info on the flexable Plastic Flares you've got on your Disco , a Website URL perhaps ? any info would be appreciated.

The only curved ones i have seen were the dress type with no cutting required or custom made ones or off another vehicle.

Looks like you got an answer. Sorry but I don't get to my PC on Fridays & Saturdays.
There are a few more companies making them...far cheaper than Scorpian Racing. Google would come up with a few suppliers as would a few of the other UK forums.
If I see the ads I'll certainly put up a link.

BTW. The ones on my Disco are fibre glass...not flexibles. Once these break I'll not get them again. Too dammed expensive for a few feet of matting and resin.

Regards.
