just wanting anyone "in the Know" to tell me what brand these flares are & where i`d be able to get a set,,, i`m expecting they`re a Japanese brand & thought that maybe my brother could grab a set for me when he`s over there next (Maybe)

or maybe Rodger could grab a set for me when he`s over there next ? Buddy chum pal :-)

i stole this shot from the japan mini photos facebook page so i hope it`s ok???

i`d really like a set of these for my Monaco Fastback mini if possible

It's hard to tell the exact profile from that one picture, but they look a bit like these

they look more like these->

but the profile still doesn`t look the same to me

that`s why i figured the pic of that red mini is from Japan, then maybe those flares are a Japanese brand ???

They look like a universal flair that fits front or back, as the front left
looks a poor fit & could be used on the rear right.

A little similar to the "miglia flairs " used in UK.

There does seem to be a definite flair here. The subject does get it right though.
