    Left & Right Front Wheel Flares/Arches Disco 3- Brains trust question

    Two rotten sods hit my left Flare one day and another a week later- It was parked in perfect alignment when the person moving thier car in or out hit and ran away.


    Ordered two new replacement at Ritter this morning. $200ish each- insurance would not work as it is two separate times excess by 2 would be a lot more than then the cost.

    Brains trust question

    Paint them or vinyl wrap? I am taking the damaged ones off and putting the new ones on. Any tips appreciated as well. It doesn't look very tricky could be my latest foolish thought ?

    My replacement Disco is jet Black. All trim was colour matched. If I wrap the two front I could do the same for the rear. Perhaps if a very contrasting colour to my Disco the blind rude shockingly poor drivers/parkers might be a little more aware?

    Adding a bull bar and rock sliders from my prior disco would have avoided the problem entirely. Note the lower weight does seem to give a lot better fuel economy on the long runs I do in my new D3.

    I googled and called a place for a wrapping cost estimate. A window tint company- they didn't and gave me another branch they said who did but they didn't either
