You can get them on a Clubbie, but the fronts won't quite fit right up near the front, about an inch or two back from the start of the flare, there will be a gap of about 1/4 to 1/2". Also to me they don'y look right as they don't come down quite far enough at the front either (If you compare a clubbie flare to a roundy flare, the clubbie ones are a little longer).

The rears of course will fit OK.

Unfortunately, flares that fit for clubbies are slim pickin's. I haven't seen any out of the UK.

I've got the exact same ones on my clubman fronted van, because they use the same screw holes as the standard (exposed screw) late model uk mini flares I had.
A little bit of trimming was involved, but they feel much better quality than the plastic ones.

I like them. 8) :wink:

I also used the black rubber strip between the flare and the body as well as their anti kink chrome trim. I would definitely recommend both of these to be fitted when fitting these flares.
TIP: I cut the chrome strip so I had separate lengths for each of the flares and then one down the sill seam. IMO this looks heaps better than when the trim strip sits away from the flare/body on the transitions between the arches and body. :wink:

For the price I'd say go for it, especially if you have the same type of (cheap) flares I had. Also, as said, clubman specific flares are a bit harder to find.

PS: the fit is not perfect, (as you can see in that pic with the light visible) but I'm happy with how mine sit on the car. :D
