just rial fitting the Incentry flares to Marcia for the Bling ones to go over the top and it seams that the seams are in a differant place to the standard Mini's
I'm guessing this is normal :roll: which would mean my bling ones would also be the same :evil:

Did you cut that notch? I've got the same arches on the Clubman estate, and I don't think there's an issue - will check as soon as I get home.

I've never had a problem , are you sure Marcia's guards haven't been enlarged at some stage ?

Those flares have the inner plastic sit under the steel lip on the car, not above it that's what you've done.

:lol: NO..I'v actualy take the ones from Morris (See:Morris A Panel Thread 3rd page) and tried them also. No good also without forcing on :roll:
I know this van has had some body work done to as it has 2 Pac paint on it so I think someone has also played with the arch's not worrying about get them where they are surpose to be and now flare won't fit.

I may have to modify some old craked ones and see how it turns out :?

The rear panel joins on a van ARE different to the sedans or at least they were when I fitted the flares to my Clubman van.

they're not supposed to be - those flares look like MK2 Cooper S type flares (right?)

I have a brand new set here I plan to fit to my traveller, you got me worried so I took a rear one out of the box and tried it, fits perfectly
