http://www.rtaphoto.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=1822&g2_serialNumber=1 These, I belive, are Mk 2 Cooper S flares. Can anyone confirm this? And can a kind person also give me the order code for this item. Thanks heaps. willy. |

That's them - and a very nice liftup door handle '71 Mk2 Cooper S they're attached to. In the pic it almost looks like the front ones are moulded though which they aren't. |

I've grown fond of Clubby flairs, they just look right. Mk2 Cooper S flairs are basically the same as Clubby flairs (maybe slightly different width, I dno), so they also look right! The way I see it, putting these on an old roundie almost isn't modifying the car, as they were a factory item.

The way I see it, putting these on an old roundie almost isn't modifying the car, as they were a factory item. how much are they for a set that'll more or less just bolt on? need to get em and fit em before i have the body painted as i want the flares to be the same color as the body... |

Ok we are wrong. These are Mk1 Cooper S flares - as per factory. Mk2 S flares are WIDE, a lot wider than these Mk1 flares. Clubby flares and Mk1 Cooper S flares are practically the same (rear, with slight differences for front - obviously) Supposedly, these Mk1 flares are about 56 dollars each. Shite.
