Thread: 07 Defender on 37" tyres Vid

Nice flares. I wonder if they're are Land Rover items?

Not exactly off the showroom floor! Nice vid.

Arctic Trucks no doubt...

They make some excellent kits.

pity they don't sell parts etc, we have tried to buy flares / wheel arches etc before

There might be a market for them if you know anyone who's works in composites.

FRP in QLD are one of the biggest sellers.

Alpine offroad make some fibre panels, we tried to get some parts through them, no joy either.

There is a big market for Fibre Bonnets / guards / Scoops and flares.

After lifting my SIIA bonnet off it would be a huge weight saving to have a fibre bonnet instead. Maybe its time to pursue this again.

Actually... That's where you're wrong!

In Iceland, you can buy them off the dealer forecourt like that, together with a full warranty.

You serious? That's the sort of dealers we need here in Australia!!

Cool vid, pity he doesnt mention what the Icies did to it to be able to run 38's.
He quoted 28 mpg, whats that in modern speak ? good or ok ? And if its 19k GBP it shouldnt be any more than the previous fender at around 50k ish.
