as far as I am aware, these are the only after market flares you can get that are wider than standard. So not much choice. I'm possibly going to have to get a set to cover my tyres that are a 1cm outside the guards. expensive though, especially for something that's out of Thailand.

Do they look ok on top of the existing flare though??? the black on grey might look a bit off. I was worried they won't look the goods.

I've been chasing a set fora while . Can't justify 700 or so to then have them break offroad lol can't buy them individually either if I did smash one.
I've gone through heaps of stock flares .
I have the 34s on mine with garden edging on the stock flares . Looks ugly as he'll but works and keeps the police happy

eBay. They're not a straight fit up though so look before you leap.

Maybe someone should buy a set and make a mould of them, Depending if the cost of moulding and reproducing was worth it... I'd do it if i didn't suck at fibreglassing

Neither are the flares. The rear wheel arches are different between the MN and ML.

Also the mounting holes in the Thai flares don't match up with the clip holes in the guards so extras need to be drilled.

It all adds up to time and $$$

I put my colour coded MN flares straight onto the ML tub I fitted, no problem.

Why do you say they are different?

Interesting. It seems the radius of these Thai flares is smaller than the factory flares in the rear. I wrongfully assumed there must have been a difference.

It must just be the moulding of these flares. There going to require a lot of work to get them fitted up.

:shock:

Considering the price of extended flares for land rovers and the new jeeps these are about the same price
