well I need to replace the silver trimming/lining around the flares/wheel arches..the whole side of the car because the stuff thats on is pretty crappy. Im also thinking about putting some different/wider flares on too, but i thought if i was going to put this trimming on, there would be no point, if i was going to get new flares as I would just have to rip it off again. So what are the best options in regards to these flares?
I think these black ones look pretty sweet, and they suit the white on the clubman (just like mine) really well. or would crome ones look better? or what does everyone think. I want opinions people!

nothing off the shelf fits a clubby like the original 'S' flares:

They are available new somewhere..some guy has the rights to the mould, bought the rights of Leyland when they closed i think..QLD he may be in by memory..

There are a few custom options i've seen on clubbies here which look tops as well, and would be the way i'd go.. ;)

Agreed. S arches look TOPS on clubbys. Especially with 12 or 13 inch mags. Tops.

And I'm sorry Habib, but chrome wheel arches --- just never look good. Never.

If you look at mine closely you'll see that i'm using the "real s" trim down the sides of the car, instead of the standard..which IMO looks better..

Anton, i'm stealing a pic :mrgreen:

That's the standard stuff..

"real S" stuff is a PITA to fit where it's not meant to go ;)

Gee.... 4 strips of sheet metal, a drill, a pop rivet gun and some rivets.... couldnt be THAT hard to make your own!!!!

The best way to know how something works is to build it yourself. :wink:

Aussie - all the mini places sell the chrome finishing strip. If you buy extra, you should do the lip around your roof at the same time..... maybe....

There's some on ebay too.
