I've gotta buy new flares as the ones I have are all cracked and broken, and plus they don't cover the wheel enough. The flares need to add about 2" onto the actual lip of the wheel arch (effective "flareyness" of the flare, if you know what I mean). Any idea which ones I'm looking for? I've never been good with which 'group' i need to buy... I'm not fussed if they aren't the Cooper S ones with the lip on the flares for the chrome strip.

If it were a roundie then I would suggest some rover flares but since it isn't I think group 5's are the way to go (rovers look better on roundies any how)

For some reason, I really don't like the group 5 arches. They look too fat at the front...

Hey 13sec, do you have a photo that is more of a front-on shot? And a rear shot? I just want to see where the arches start and end, and also how they look sticking out.

EDIT: I also don't have bumpers on my car, so if the rear ones finish at the bumper line, it'll look silly.

Mmmm... I might go with the group 5's and do a bit of fibreglassing to make them the way I want them.
