hi there.
i have been looking around for some arches for a while on and i have fallen in love with the wide version of the mk2 flares.
Has anybody got any pics of them on a clubbie?
or has anybody fitted them to a clubbie?
Anyway thanks a million
CHEERS jordy....

The front roundy flares don't quite fit the clubies properly and I'm sure that they (the factory) never made the wide versions of he clubbie ones :( Yes, IMO they do look the best.

where all the beautiful posts go??
any way i know that there not ment to fit but i know it can be done.Got pics and word of mouth knowledge.
And the reason for the arches is that the standard clubbie's' ones dont cover the tred :)

G'day , glad this topic has come up,does anybody have a template of the origanal flat metal piece that gets welded onto The body to support the MK II flare , if so would it be possible to get a copy ie; traced out on newspaper or something similar that could be easily done and posted , will pay postage

thanks Colin

I'll post some pics of my new flares on here tomorrow! Group 6 Flares from HUDDERFEILD MINI SPARES! 3 3/4 inches wide!

Sorry no pics! panel beater isn't putting flares on for me as they'll probably get broken in transit!

Might try The Mini King as well..

He had run out mid last year, but was having another batch created at the time.
