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. Pics- before: ![]() After: ![]() I like them. ![]() ![]() 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. ![]() 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. ![]() |
