I am not sure what you are after exactly.
Have you looked at dealer sites such as:
https://minisport.com.au/flares-and-chr ... -mouldings
It is a bit difficult to 'try before you buy'. People with flares usually have them on their car already.
Have you been to car shows to see what is available for minis?
Sorry I can't be more help; I only have experience with the 'factory' style flares.
Thanks Ill look abit further into that site

Ben - you probably already know but keep in mind front flares will be a different shape for round-nose and Clubman style. Rears are the same.
Yes I am aware - its very limiting in choice and there is abit of mis info on the net what fits and what doesnt. What really is the difference (can one be made to fit the other and vice versa?)
Part of what brings me here is a link to a set I got awhile back , which ended up being too narrow and also not fitting the front at all. I really do want to get it right

If you're trying to figure out what size arches you need, the size seems to be based on the front arch at 12 o'clock.
So if you put straight edge over the tyre and measure to the bodywork directly above the front hub, you should get a good idea what size you need.
look out for what camber you're running, as this can change the amount it appears to protrude. Best to use a level to check really
Just done. thanks for the heads up !

Can you take a wheel off and get the offset measurement?
Knowing that will make suggesting an arch easier.
Here are the basic details
wheels = minators 10x6 ET +6
Front
5cm to cover tyre from 12 o'clock
Rear
4cm to cover tyre from 12 o'clock
Hope that influences abit of input !
If anyone has some squarenose arches that suit , please speak up
Thanks again Ben
